Are you a Data Scientist looking for a Job? Are you a Recruiter looking for a Data Scientist? If you answered yes or NO to this questions you need to read\u00a0this.<\/h4>\n

Hello! This is a blog post I\u2019ve been waiting a lot to write. Mostly because I needed to do my research and listen to what other people have to say about this.<\/p>\n

I consider myself a Data Scientist, not a recruiter, but thanks to an amazing conversation I had with\u00a0Amanda Voss<\/a>\u00a0and more recruiters in the area of Data Science and IT I have an idea now of both sides of the story: the DS looking for a job, and the recruiter looking for the best DS for a position.<\/p>\n

Before starting, if you want to know more about my personal experience looking for a job as a Data Scientist read my blog: \u201cHow to get a job as a Data Scientist?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Data Scientist side<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So you are a Data Scientist, or you think you are getting closer to be one, and you started looking for a job in the area. My first suggestion:\u00a0be patient!<\/strong>\u00a0This is not an easy task, and maybe you will apply to hundreds of job before getting one.<\/p>\n

Of course, it could be really easy and fast process, but in my experience this will take you at least (approx) 100 applications and several months.<\/p>\n

Learn from each application, each rejection. When I started applying for jobs I had to deal with a lot of rejection. Something I was actually not prepared to. I think no one prepares you for rejection, but if you get something from this is, it\u2019s ok! it\u2019s normal and not personal!<\/p>\n

Every rejection is a step on your way to success. It\u2019s not easy to fit in every characteristic that the employer may want, or have the right experience, or maybe just cultural fit.<\/p>\n

If you are lucky enough you will get an amazing recruiter that will let you know what happened and how you can improve for future interviews or processes. Recognizing your flaws and weaknesses is the beginning of getting better. This frustration you feel now, or you may feel use it to improve and get better every time.<\/p>\n
