Background

Data scientists need to have resumes that show strong experience in solving real-world problems. While employers know that their job candidates need experience, they often donโ€™t know what experience they need and often list too many requirements.

Challenge

To finish the semester you will need to create your hypothetical resume that you could use upon graduation from BYU-I to a data science or analytics position. Your resume will need to combine the three elements of coursework available, the real-work experience you can accumulate over your next few years before graduation, and the job requirements of the currently available positions for undergraduate data scientists.

Deliverables

  • A one-page dream data science resume.
  • A second page of sources that you used to justify the stuff in your resume.
  • A cover letter that describes what you have learned from this course.
