Grab a cup of hot,☕ in this post we will help you with ideas to get into Data Science jobs.

Intro:

If you are a fresher and not from IIT, IIM and NITs and looking for a Data Science Job or you are an experienced professional looking to switch to Data Science domain read along this. I am going to share 9 easy but highly effective steps which can get you a data science job much faster even if you have no experience.

Look, if you are absolutely fresher and are not from premium colleges in India it is difficult to get a data science job directly in a company. But if you don't have the “trust” and “brand value” of IITs you can build that trust on your own and get a job much faster.

So the first 8 steps are helpful both for freshers and experienced professionals. I will share one more tip for experienced professionals later on in this article.

Why data Science is the most in demand skill in 2022

Data science is all about making the best out of the cluttered data. Since we produce huge data everyday companies require many professionals with relevant skills to extract insights from the massive data collected.

This is why data science is in huge demand and among the top paying jobs in the industry right now.

How to be a data scientist with no experience

Learn the basics

People who focus more on learning eventually earn more.

Plan to go through the Data Science syllabus like deep learning, machine learning, statistics, how to apply different kinds of machine learning algorithms with feature engineering, feature selection and all the life cycle of a data science project.

You will also need to learn and brush up your skills in

Mathematics specially Statistics, Probability

Coding Language like Python, R

Database query language like mysql

You can self learn through online free resources or take some online courses.

Get a Certificate

Just learning will not get you a data science job. A certification validates your learning. If you are taking a data science course or certification program make sure it gives you placement opportunities and live projects.

At Business Toys we offer a 6 months detailed course on data science by experienced industry experts. The course is backed by Business Toys Guarantee and you will be able to work on 10 different live projects and create a strong portfolio to get hired by top data analytics companies.

Get Real Life Experience

Participate in Kaggle Competition

You can participate in the Kaggle Competition. It is very popular and to get a rank from 1-100 is very prestigious. You can put the certificate in your resume to impress hiring managers. A good rank might get you an internship opportunity from a data science company

Participate in Hackathons

Different companies conduct hackathons at different times. Even if you don't win, the participation certificate will give you an edge. You will also learn lots of things and gain experience during the preparation of hackathons.

Online Presence & Portfolio

Companies hire not the best skilled person but they hire the best skilled person visible online these days.

This is 2022, portfolio and case study plays a major role apart from just having a certificate.

Portfolio showcases your skills and impresses your hiring managers. A strong portfolio shows that you can generate revenue and opportunities for the business, you can extract insight from the raw data, and build a system that can exchange value to the customers or others in the organization.

Create a profile on Github

Present your projects in an organized manner on github or your personal website. Make your code visible and well documented.

If you have not worked on any project so far make some dummy projects and upload it on github.

Create a blog or post on Linkedin

Content builds authority and gives a feel to your potential employers that you are a master of the skills.

Write articles and create content on data science and make case studies. Post them on your personal blog or on Linkedin.

Create a YouTube Channel

If you are comfortable on video you can share your knowledge on YouTube as well. You don't need expensive equipment. Just a free screen recording software or your phone camera is more than enough. You don't have to have 1 million followers.

Just posting regular content will give you an unique edge over the other candidates. This will leave a strong and long lasting impression on your employers.

You will get lots of freelancing opportunities, internship offers and interview calls as well just by posting content on social media.

Build your network

As they say, contacts bring you contracts, create strong relationships with experienced data scientists and your potential hiring managers. Send Linkedin connection requests to HRs, Team Leads and Senior Data scientists.

Some of them will post data science jobs. Just by scrolling your Linkedin feed you will be able to apply for those jobs. This will give you more hands-on experience. You will also get freelancing projects and job opportunities just by making connections.

Find someone who is experienced and wishes to share his knowledge. That person can provide you guidance and advice. Ask him which company and technology he is working on, how he got his first job in data science. This will give you a clear idea in this field.

Targeted Resume

Make your resume clear and to the point. There are hundreds of resumes for a single position. Employers look for specific skills and keywords either by manually or using some resume screening software.

So don't send the same resume to all the employers. Analyze the position and customize it according to the requirement to get results much faster.

For Experienced Professionals

So up to this part it is common for both freshers and experienced professionals. In this section I will discuss a simple and very effective tip especially if you have any IT experience and you are looking to switch to the data science domain.

If you are working for a company see whether inclusion of machine learning or deep learning technologies is beneficial for your existing project. Showcase your work to your higher management. If they give you a better opportunity you can switch the domain.

Otherwise, you can tell your next interviewer what kind of work you have done in your previous job. Even if it is a mini project, the hands-on experience and certification will help you immensely to get a better opportunity with a higher salary.

If you are a fresher or an experienced professional looking to start your career in Data Science have a look at the Business Toys Data Science Certification Program.
