You Don't Need Industry Experience
Good Morning Data Scientists!
Looking for a new challenge in your Data Science Career?
It’s possible to find a new role which helps you grow.
Even if you don’t have industry experience.
My client Harry was bored of the pharmaceutical company he worked at.
6 weeks later, he’d found his dream job at Vodafone.
He got a £10k pay-rise too.
And he only needed to apply for 10 roles.
Here’s how he did it
1) Targeted Approach
Taking a targeted approach doesn’t mean only applying to certain industries.
It means understanding the jobs you’re excited about (and why).
So he could show his enthusiasm for the role (not just his skills)
This let him make fewer, higher quality applications.
2) Selling Himself
Harry thought his CV and LinkedIn were up to scratch.
But when I taught him a few tips, like how to write properly.
He could finally see what he’d been doing wrong.
That’s when employers started offering him interviews.
So to recap, Harry’s
1) Targeted Approach (not industry specific)
2) Ability to sell himself
Helped him find his dream job.
Want help doing the same?
