The key to standing out is to show your project

made an impact and show that other people
cared. Why are we in data? We're trying to find
insights that actually impact a business, or we're
trying to find insights that will actually shape
society or create something novel. We're trying
to improve profitability or improve people's
lives using and analyzing data, so if you don’t
somehow quantify the impact, then you are
lacking impact.

60% to 70% of applications get shifted out of

consideration before humans actually look at
the application.

If you want to be seen, then you have to share

your work. The analogy I like to use is a music
box. If you've ever seen a music box, when it's
closed and just sitting on the table, you never
actually get to hear what the beautiful sound is
inside of it. It’s similar for data scientists that
lack communication skills. They may have these
amazing skills, but they're all locked in this box,
and no one ever knows about them. You have to
open the box, and you do that by being able to
tell those stories and communicate those skills.
So, it's really up to you. Do you want people to
hear your story and experience your amazing
skills and ability? Then you're going to need the
communication skills so that you can open your
box.

Large Language Models like ChatGPT are

revolutionizing the way we interact with
software. Whether it's customer service, project
management, or data analysis, these AI tools are
enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and productivity
across all sectors.
