Writing a Differentiated Data Resume
Do you constantly feel like your resume falls short? Not hearing back when applying for jobs you deserve?
Well, there is no silver bullet to getting a great data job, but a strong, differentiated resume is about as close as you can come.
Introducing my first-ever product, "Writing a Differentiated Data Resume." This work draws from my extensive experience in the data and consulting recruiting area, from both sides of the table. This includes:
- Honing my resume over 10 years, constantly testing the right format and structure
- Writing job descriptions and responsibilities for various data and consulting roles
- Leading recruiting for two years at my first consultancy
- Reviewing close to 1,000 resumes and being a primary voice in selecting which applicants go through
- Interviewing close to 100 candidates in my career
- Providing feedback on countless resumes and interviews
Contained in these 20 pages are:
- Two versions of my resume (a one-pager and two two-pager)
- Tips for structuring your resume
- Understanding what to include/ not include in your resume
- How to write your bullets in a way that actually makes an impact (for reference, most resume bullets are very bleh)
- Unique nuances that allow you to differentiate your resume from the crowd
- Some tips on messaging hiring managers when you submit (or even before you submit) your job application
In the end, your resume is more than just a document — it's a narrative of your professional journey. If your professional journey sounds like everybody else, then you won't get the job. Check out this book to figure out how to tell your unique story in the data realm!
Lastly, this is not a static resource. If you have feedback, advice, or want me to make adjustments/ add in new parts, please shoot me a message on LinkedIn. I built this for you, my network and community, so you can learn from the countless hours I spent building the best resume I could imagine. So enjoy, and PLEASE leave a review if you found this useful :)
You'll get a straightforward, simple, and concise document that will help you to improve your resume!
