5 Do’s and Don’ts for data scientists/analytics professionals looking for a new role
- If you do not know the hiring manager/person who can refer you – please don’t bombard people with ‘Hi’ messages on Linkedin.
- Do your homework upfront. Research about the company and roles they offer. Check out their careers page to identify open roles.
- Evaluate your why – why do you want a career in this space? What are your key skills – are you great at visualization, storytelling or building pipelines?
- Alignment to Role – Do your skillsets align with what is being offered? Again, do not aim for a 100% match.
- Do you have a portfolio of work that can showcase how you can add tangible value to the requisite role?
Now you can reach out to people within the organizations requesting for a referral.
Share a summary of what role you are keen to apply, why and how you think you can add value upfront.
Being enterprising and focused alone differentiates you from the other 80% who aren’t.
