Hello everyone! I’m new to the fishbowl app and this is my first post. I was just told an hour ago that there are no vacancies in the company I’m interning at and so I’ll have to start applying for jobs again. I applied to 400+ companies and got the internship in the end. I might have to get back to the grind and so can I get any feedback on my resume. I’m trying for Data Scientist Jobs. Thank you!

Wow, 400? I need to try harder, I apply to 3 and feel exhausted. I wish you all the best in your search. I hope you land your dream role!

Focus less on the what and more the why

E.g

Convert them to pivot tables

Change to

Mass ingest raw data in order to keep stakeholders updated with XYZ.. always discuss the output and not the (less important) process steps

Otherwise reads v well

I'd find a way to fit everything onto one page. Sounds simple, but it's something a lot of recruiters and hiring managers look at.

I would clean up the "project" descriptions. Use the same tense throughout. Clean up wording a bit, sounds a bit choppy at the moment. Nothing major but something to think about

Best of luck

Any way to summarize and consolidate your projects a bit more?

Cut the resume to 1 page

Also, try posting for job vacancies/referrals in the tech bowl– it's a bigger hodgepodge of people and companies in comparison to this bowl since this one caters mainly to students. You'll have better prospects in the former. All the best!

For your projects I would recommend trying to stick to bullet points so that recruiters can pick up info when skimming easier.

I also just rebuilt my resume for the Nth time and I also decided to put a small projects section to demonstrate ability. I think your resume is pretty solid and great experience, best of luck to you!

Have you applied to Accenture by any chance?

Thank you for all your advice, it’s been very helpful. I’ll try for referrals once I’m done editing my resume. It would help me a lot since I’m going to be graduating in a month and I have a few months to get a job.

Can we connect on LinkedIn please? My LinkedIn is https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankush-lakkanna

I haven’t applied to Accenture yet.

I see some great advice above. I would also consider finding someone on Upwork to professionally optimize your resume. Money well spent! Best of luck to you.

This resume guide could help: https://joinleland.typeform.com/to/p5xy4RoG?utm_source=xxxxx

For the love of god, you get 1 page. Nix a project if you have to.

If you haven’t been the CEO of all 400 of these companies you’ve applied to, and probably even if you had, there’s no reason to have a resume longer than one page.

On skill list on a beginner intermediate and expert level. For example

Expert - R, SQL
Intermediate - Google Suite, Microsoft Office
Beginner - Python

Also if your resume doesn’t have to be 2 pages don’t make it 2 pages. Most of the time they are not reading the whole thing…. Keep the meat and cut the fat.

The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
