What you should have on your Data Scientist Resume (Especially in the Pandemic time)

Applying for a job is stressful enough. Applying a job for a Data Scientist position is way more excruciating because there are many more things to prepare as compared to the usual job application. In my time, I have seen many Data Scientist resumes and know what I want to look for in the aspiring Data Scientist. Moreover, with a pandemic comes special needs.

At the very least, I know what to have in your resume when you are looking for a Data Scientist job in a pandemic because I managed to move into new employment during the pandemic (although I already have some experience).

Nevertheless, I want to share what you shouldhave in your resumeto apply for a Data Scientist position. For the record, depending on where you are applying for the Data Scientist position, you should tailor the resume to fulfil the job application.

Header and Description

The top of the page is the most important thing in your resume. Not just for Data Scientist, but also for any resume.

Many of the people in HR that I know say that when selecting the candidate for the interview process, they only take a glance at the candidate resume and decide in an instant which resume is worth taking their time to look at deeper.

So, what kind of header and description is the eye-catcher? I would give you an example of my own resume and the kind that I look for in a resume.

So, above is the header and description example that I used for the Data Science job application. Let’s break it down one by one.

Your Data Architecture: Simple Best Practices for Your Data Strategy

If you accumulate data on which you base your decision-making as an organization, you should probably think about your data architecture and possible best practices.

If you accumulate data on which you base your decision-making as an organization, you most probably need to think about your data architecture and consider possible best practices. Gaining a competitive edge, remaining customer-centric to the greatest extent possible, and streamlining processes to get on-the-button outcomes can all be traced back to an organization’s capacity to build a future-ready data architecture.

In what follows, we offer a short overview of the overarching capabilities of data architecture. These include user-centricity, elasticity, robustness, and the capacity to ensure the seamless flow of data at all times. Added to these are automation enablement, plus security and data governance considerations. These points from our checklist for what we perceive to be an anticipatory analytics ecosystem.

Getting Started With Data Lakes

Frameworks for Efficient Enterprise Analytics

The opportunities big data offers also come with very real challenges that many organizations are facing today. Often, it’s finding the most cost-effective, scalable way to store and process boundless volumes of data in multiple formats that come from a growing number of sources. Then organizations need the analytical capabilities and flexibility to turn this data into insights that can meet their specific business objectives.

This Refcard dives into how a data lake helps tackle these challenges at both ends — from its enhanced architecture that’s designed for efficient data ingestion, storage, and management to its advanced analytics functionality and performance flexibility. You’ll also explore key benefits and common use cases.

Introduction

As technology continues to evolve with new data sources, such as IoT sensors and social media churning out large volumes of data, there has never been a better time to discuss the possibilities and challenges of managing such data for varying analytical insights. In this Refcard, we dig deep into how data lakes solve the problem of storing and processing enormous amounts of data. While doing so, we also explore the benefits of data lakes, their use cases, and how they differ from data warehouses (DWHs).

Data Science: Advice for Aspiring Data Scientists | Experfy Insights

Around once a month, I get emailed by a student of some type asking how to get into Data Science, I’ve answered it enough that I decided to write it out here so I can link people to it. So if you’re one of those students, welcome!

I’ll segment this into basic advice, which can be found quite easily if you just google ‘how to get into data science’ and advice that is less common, but advice that I’ve found very useful over the years. I’ll start with the latter, and move on to basic advice. Obviously take this with a grain of salt as all advice comes with a bit of survivorship bias.

Less Basic Advice:

1. Find a solid community

2. Apply Data Science to Things you Enjoy

3. Minimize the ‘Clicks to Proof of Competence’

4. Learn Through Research or Entry Level Jobs
