Common mistakes on resumes for this role

  • Model names and algorithms listed with no business outcome — "used XGBoost" alone doesn't say what it improved.
  • No experimentation vocabulary (A/B test, control group, significance) despite most DS postings expecting it.
  • Nothing about deployment or production. A model in a notebook reads differently than a model in production, and postings increasingly ask for the latter.
  • Overloaded with academic language (research, thesis, publications) with no translation to product or business impact.

Weak vs. strong

Weak Built a machine learning model to predict churn.

Strong Shipped a gradient-boosted churn model to production, flagging at-risk accounts 3 weeks earlier and lifting save-offer acceptance 22%.
