How Top 1% Data Science Candidates Land More Interviews

Insights from reviewing 100s of resumes

It’s not your fault.

Really, I mean it.

And you know how I know that? Because the market is full of talented data scientists who, despite their long list of achievements, are struggling to get noticed.

That’s because…

• Being a good data scientist ≠ being good at writing resumes
• Being a good data scientist ≠ being good at writing cover letters
• Being a good data scientist ≠ being good at interviews

Landing a job is a whole different game

And if you want to play the game to win, you first need to understand the rules.

During my time as a hiring manager and a data science coach, I’ve reviewed 100s of resumes and I spotted patterns that show up over and over again among the top 1% candidates.

Even for those without years of work experience or a master's degree

So today I want to share several strategic moves to help you play the game like the best do and start landing more data science interviews (even in this job market).

Rule #1

First things first, STOP mass applying and hoping for the best!

Mass applying doesn’t work because by nature, resumes are not built to align.
