Working in data science is a competitive field where thousands of people fight for that position, especially for junior positions. Every data science job that was posted was usually flooded with applicants. Even when advertising an internship position, there would be tons of applicants.
With so much competition, we must differentiate ourselves from others. What exactly is it like to stand out among the sea of applicants? There are many ways, such as having a stellar resume, a great portfolio, or a fantastic interview. It’s difficult to do everything I mentioned, but now we can rely on ChatGPT.
How could ChatGPT help us get a job in data science? Let’s get into it.
As a side note, I would use ChatGPT More for this article. You can still follow the article, but there are some things you can’t replicate.
A resume is an essential tool for any job candidate, as it summarizes everything employers need to know about you professionally. With a resume, you would get anywhere with a job. Many people need help creating a suitable data scientist resume. That’s why we would ask ChatGPT to help us create them.
For example, I asked ChatGPT to create a resume for me and the model asked me for your information so I could complete it.
Additionally, we can use ChatGPT to improve the language used in the resume to make it more eye-catching. For example, here are suggestions that ChatGPT could give you to expand your experience.
If you are using ChatGPT Plus, you can use advanced data analysis to create the template based on the information you have provided.
Additionally, you can ask ChatGPT for advice to improve your chances of landing a job in data science.
With all the templates and suggestions provided, ChatGPT would help increase your chances of landing a job in data science.
ChatGPT allows users to improve their chances of landing a job in data science by identifying essential skills and providing resources to improve their skills. We can also provide the link or job description to ChatGPT and ask the model to discuss how we can get the job.
For example, I asked ChatGPT to identify the skills needed for a data science job.
We get a comprehensive list of essential skills to land the job in data science. With the list in hand, we can ask ChatGPT to provide us with references for all of these skills. Below is the example message I ask ChatGPT.
Lastly, ChatGPT can act as your personal data science tutor and provide you with feedback based on your performance. I previously wrote more about this in my previous article here. The following is an example of ChatGPT’s explanation of how you could act as your guardian.
You’ve learned the skills, but it would be nothing if you didn’t display it as a Portfolio. That’s why we can ask ChatGPT to guide us in setting up our Data Science Portfolio. For example, I asked ChatGPT how to set up my customer segmentation project portfolio.
The steps are long, but we can ask ChatGPT for more details if we have any problems understanding them.
We can optimally direct ChatGPT to search for job listing information. With the help of web browsing and plugin, we can transform ChatGPT into a job search engine. For example, I configure the Job Search and Job Search Wanted plugin like in the image below.
I then asked ChatGPT to find me a job for a junior data scientist position in Indonesia. The result is shown in the image below.
ChatGPT would then provide links for the available job and display the basic job description. You can modify the message to see if the job offers suit your situation.
ChatGPT can help you prepare for your interview by providing you with common questions during the interview process and how to answer them. In addition, we can also ask for suggestions on how to act during the interview. For example, we ask ChatGPT to provide the questions in the image below.
With the list of common questions, we can answer them independently or ask ChatGPT to help us answer them. For example, ChatGPT would explain one of the questions above.
We may also use ChatGPT to give us suggestions on how to approach the interview. For example, I asked ChatGPT how to approach my data science interview.
ChatGPT would give us practical advice on what to do and give us a way to approach it.
Data science is a competitive field with thousands of applicants essentially looking for a job. To differentiate ourselves from the rest of the candidates, we must be innovative. That’s why we can use ChatGPT to help us get an advantage. Using ChatGPT, we can have a better resume, improve our skills, prepare our portfolio, find the job offer and practice for the interview. With all these uses, ChatGPT would definitely help you land a job in data science.
