What role did you apply for?

We really look for people that have led the project hands on. Think lead biz consultant vs project mgr.

My guess is that your resume was heavy on theory and numerical results but light on the details that show that you actually did the work and know how to apply the concepts.

Just my two cents...hard to speculate without more details.

Also....could just be bad luck.

How can we give advice on improving your resume without seeing your resume? I guess general principles apply - show your impact, don’t have it read like a job description. Show numbers, no typos… improved X by Y% by Z, etc etc

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.
