Data Science Resume Template and User Guide

This is the exact data science template I use on my LinkedIn profile as well as the resumes I sent out for applications. I almost never use referrals, and regularly get unsolicited messages from recruiters at top-tier tech companies inviting me to apply. I also almost always receive recruiter call backs when I apply online for relevant positions.
 

You need two things to receive interviews from cold applications: relevant background and experience, and a strong presentation. While I admittedly have a relevant background, this resume structure has helped me get many more interviews than candidates with similar education and experience.

In addition to the resume template below you can also receive a valuable user guide by signing up to the right, where I detail the important components of the resume, how to explain your career experience and analytics projects, and when it is appropriate to go over one page.

Note that my own resume replaces some of the latter items with more career-related experience because my career experience is now much more relevant. But for those with less experience, you should fill up your resume with projects and other experiences that demonstrate work ethic, leadership, and teamwork.
