How to have the edge in your data science application
—
Applying for jobs right now can feel a bit difficult, sending countless applications with little to no responses. The problem is that you are probably not differentiating yourself significantly from other candidates, so in this article, I want to go over several ways you can make yourself stand out.
What is standing out?
Standing out is actually a relatively simple concept to get your head around.
All you need to do is be different to other applicants. You must be an outlier.
Sounds simple, right?
Like everything in life, it’s simple to understand but much harder to do.
The primary way to be an outlier is to do things other people are not doing. By definition, you will become an outlier.
Notice I am not saying you need to be better, although this is sometimes a by-product of being an outlier.
