Role guides

Data scientist requirements, with the quote you would need

Science postings ask for experiments, models, or causal questions. Many resumes are analyst work with a scientist title requested by the ad. Keep the method you used. Do not rename a dashboard as a model.

Examples on this page are fictional composites, not customers and not testimonials.

Often required

Often preferred, and easy to fake

What a citation looks like

Experimentation

“Designed the holdout for the new dunning email and reported the lift in recovered invoices to finance.”

Design, treatment, and audience are present. The numeric lift is not in this sentence, so it is not added later.

Deep learning

“No sentence.”

A logistic regression is not a neural net. Leave the gap.

The gap people paper over

TensorFlow, Spark, and “production ML” are the prestige stack. If you handed a notebook to an engineer, say that.

Questions

I am an analyst applying to scientist roles.

Quote the analysis. The title gap is real. A tailored resume should not silently promote you.

Can I include coursework models?

Yes, labeled as coursework. Do not place them under an employer.
