- In this video, I go through the resume that got me into FAANG as a data scientist. The resume is the key to getting that interview, which is definitely the hardest part of the entire application process for a data scientist. Our role is super popular but actual positions few and far between. That's why I spent A LOT of time on this resume to get my foot in the door. We're going to go through this line by line and item by item as I go into the details and roast it hard. Sit back and enjoy! :)

🐈⬛🐈⬛About me
========================
Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

That mistake tho :x idk how I never caught it??
Hi Tina! Awesome content and I think that goes without saying 😄. I just had a request. If you don't mind could you make your resume publicly available? It would help a lot to keep your resume open in a separate tab while I craft my own. Cheers!!
To be human is to make mistakes. And your own mistakes are sometimes the hardest to catch. You wrote it, you know what's written there and you don't question the validity of what you have written in your own mind. Even if it gets caught during recruitment, at best they'll ask about it but most likely it will simply be put away as a mistake that we all can make.
hahahah i checked out your resume before watching this video. And I was confused like why Tina was still teaching in Toronto while she was in UPenn
Great tips Tina. I especially love how you explain projects in detail on your resume. I also want to add for your viewers that even if you don't get a job right away at one of these companies, don't get discouraged as there are 1000s of companies out there. Sometimes you have to take a step back to move 2 forward. I also created a video where I walk you step by step how to make your resume stand out if you don't have any job experience or don't have the confidence because you didn't go to one of the big (known) schools.
I'm a physics graduate starting my journey in data science, and I come to this video whenever I need to update my CV. Thank you for all the great advice! Greetings from the Basque Country
Tina your tech skills are incredible, so much work, wow! Thx for great video
The issue I have with these types of videos is that it is the elite pedigree and credentialism that is at play here, not how the resume was crafted. The type of background presented here is out of reach for most people.
I don't feel it is out of reach if you put your mind to it. I do agree that a lot of it is purely based on her credentials, but as someone with limited work experience, that's often the only thing you have to go on. Although I feel that it could have been a little bit shorter.
@@Hans-gb4mv lol, bruh, she has thrown like 8 programming languages in there and C++ alone takes like 10 years to master it completely. Not sure what you are talking about.
Plus HTM and CSS aren't programming languages(hiring system is broken)....Such videos are clickbait write FAANG and people will run to see that.
@@renachen5179 it wasn’t about the admissions, it is more about the cost. And that is not only tuition but living expenses and opportunity cost. Great if her family has the resources to do that; however that is a small segment of the population.
that's true
for a new graduate, her resume is already fancy than 99% applicants
reputable schools/good internship experience/young & energetic/strong communication skills
significantly above the average
for regular graduate, need more experiences to transfer to FANG or similar big name in a few years
Thank you for sharing. This is extremely valuable for those who are job searching or looking to upgrade their CVs such as myself. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Tina ! All your videos are amazing especially this one ! The resume breakdown is really helpful 💯
As someone who is going to be graduating in 2021, this is extremely useful!
Yay I'm so glad!! 😍
did you find a job?
Thank you Tina. Another great video to start with your resume series maybe :) looking forward to seeing your detail discussion in each of your experience. Cheers
Yay I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! Gonna dig deep and show y’all the atrocious resume I started with 🙈
You've got a new sub in me! My situation is similar to yours as I was dental school focused in undergrad and am now committed to becoming a data scientist, so you're giving me lots of hope. Thank you!!
Well I'm proof by example that it's possible 😊 you got this!!!!
yo, hows it going? did u take that dive?
After a month of not getting any calls for an interview, I started researching my resume's problems and how I can improve them. Your video has all the information I needed.
Thanks
I’m so happy to hear that!!!
It was very useful for me! Thanks a lot, Tina :)
Very helpful! Thank you Tina!
Thank you Tina for the helpful video. I've been looking for entry level Data Scientist jobs and found your video very informative!
I like how you switch backgrounds. The video was so informative. Thanks!
Thank you! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I'm early today, this is an awesome video Tina! The error was not immediately visible to me, but now that you said it, yes I saw it, but still not that obvious though (saved by the margin 😃). This is an amazing best practice video with valuable insights for aspiring data scientists 😊
Yay it’s data professor 😄 thank you!! Haha yup that’s probably why I missed it too despite going over the resume countless times haha
@@TinaHuang1 Haha, sounds like a bug in the resume; "resume debugging" 😊
This is very helpful, thank you.
Your example of the 'not so good resume' is the same latex template I used for my resume. I recently changed it, but I thought it looked professional. I recognized it immediately.
LOL awkward
Excellent video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for sharing this! Excellent contents!
Yay I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️
You are so f*ing structured and clear and I love it
Haha thank you!! ❤️
Thank you so much Tina this was very helpfull 👍
Eagerly waiting for the review of resume that got you Goldman Sachs internship.
I’m so glad you found it helpful!! Yess I’m excited to share it with y’all soon ❤️
Hey Tina, great respect to you!
This video helps me to make my resume more understandable and well defined.
could you make a video on preparing an entry-level data analytics resume???
i love how honest you are! New subscriber!
super well crafted, helped me redo mine. thank you so much!!
Very informative, Thankyou so much :)
So happy you found it helpful!! ❤️
Hey Tina, great video! Although your resume is very impressiv the most interesting part of it was to hear you talk about the application you build for Goldman. If allowed i would be sooo intereseted in learning more details about it.
Greetings and love from Germany. :)
Haha, even I was a wet lab lead in my Uni's iGEM team XD. Loved the video btw!
Great video!
Extremely useful.
Killer stuff, Tina! As expected, it's chock full of excellent content :)
Aww thank you!! ❤️
Having title like how I got my job at fang is like having newspaper titled how I got my job for Bayer 80 years ago . Hope you understand
LOL very true
This is a great video!
this is very cool and helpful! subscribed!
So happy to hear that!! ❤️
Got a job thanks to your resume template. I appreciate it!
I want to get a Dl/Ml job but I cant even get an internship.😭😭😭
Im in my last year of uni in CS
Beepbeepboop 1, interesting address
😂. It sounds like your cat hit some random keynotes there
They just typed their names 😉
Ha didn't know you're from Canada too. Great resume overview! I like how you've iterated it several times to get to the state it's in now.
Hi fellow Canadian! And thanks - this definitely took a lot of work haha
I'm 27 and after getting my associates of science just as covid hit, I'm back to hitting the books when I'm not working as a server. Working through my application process to a local college hoping to major in Data Science and Analytics. Gonna give you a sub, because while your academic pedigree is probably outside my reach, I think you'll have some useful info I can learn from. Many thanks for taking the time to make the video, and any general advice for someone who is just starting their data science education would be wonderful! Cheers!
I truly have so much respect for you. You have so much motivation and perseverance. I know you’ve got this ❤️ general advice is to have a plan and ignore the noise because it’s such a fast paced and noisy field.
@@TinaHuang1 Thanks for the kind words! I'm interested in market analysis and investment at the moment, so my general plan at the moment is to figure out a way to combine AI, Data analysis, and stock/derivative trading. I know there's already work being done in that sort of sector, so I'm excited to learn the set of programming languages such that I can understand what has been done, and where I might be able to contribute =)
It's funny how you hated it yet still had a 3.8, literally 3.9 plus scholarship. I wish I could hate like that too.
Hey Tina, I have a small doubt when preparing my entry-level DS resume! Are Latex resumes scannable by ATS? And also are two column ones are accepted by ATS or a traditional single column is always a safe-one to go with?
Did you ever find the answer to this? I’m still trying to figure out the best format for resumes (like fancy LaTex format, MS word docx, etc…)
The odds of me remembering what Bayes is given that I have an interview the next day is ...
0!!! Because the probability of having an interview tomorrow is 0 🤔😂
Oh god. I think we met in Hatchery at one point. Lols. Glad everything worked out career-wise! Really happy for you!
Haha really?? 😂
@@TinaHuang1 haha yes! I was so surprised!
Lol I’m so curious now. Who are you 😅
Dang you’re smart going from python to scala in a week, discrete math with no linalg lol. But don’t you need it for ML?
Have you talked abouto how to prepare for the technical interviews? I feel like no matter how many As I got in my machine learning and stat classes I forgot literally 90% of those concepts when I was in an interview and I still haven't found a way to efficiently prep for these tech interviews.
Check out my sql series :) I haven’t done one on data structure and algos yet though! It’s on the list!
yeah same ..
Wanna be a data scientist and for a 2021 passout ...this is very useful
thank you so much.
Yay I’m so glad you found it helpful!!
This is so useful.
Hi Tina, great video and thank you for sharing!! I had one question : Why did you do MCIT over the MSE in Data Science? Thanks!
Hi Tina! Awesome video!! I’ve watched some of your other content and noticed that you also work this job remotely? Is there any advice you can give or a video that you’ve done on getting a FAANG position remotely?
Very useful,thanks
Finally what I wanted 🔥🔥
Yay!! 😍
You have a great resume of course you would get hired into FAANG !
Aww thank you!! ❤️❤️
Yes, a 1-page resume! I keep seeing very very long resumes, even 5-page resumes, I throw them away
I wouldn’t tweak my job titles, I’m worried that the company will do background check and find out your actual title...😨
Agreed!! Wouldn’t do that in retrospect
Hi Tina, aspiring Data Scientist here who eventually would like to work in FAANG. I have a Mechanical Engineerig background and I just started my Masters program in Analytics. My question is how much of coding do you have to know for a Data Science interview and just having success in the job as a whole? I have a moderate skillset when it comes to programming in R and Python but I wouldn't say I'm anywhere as good as a Software Engineer.
Also, I've tried looking at leetcode and most if not all the questions I believe are realted to software engineering. Do you think that's a good site to practice for DS interview questions or am i just wasting my time ?
Hi! It depends on company and role but the most common kind of question you’ll see in an interview is SQL. In fact many data science positions won’t even ask you about algorithms let alone data structure. I would recommend stratascratch for interview questions in SQL and python. I have a whole series dedicated to doing SQL interview questions. Full transparency - I am an affiliate for them now :)
How would you know if a resume is ATS friendly? This is very helpful, Tina! Thank you (:
Hey. Great content. Absolutely love it. Also, could you please tell me the font/font size used for creating your resume? I’m assuming you’ve used Word for this. Also if possible, could you send me the .docx version of it and not PDF so I can look at all the templates and margins? Thanks a ton
“Item by item. Line by line”. I see what you did there!
Hmm maybe you should add time travel to your skills section?
😂😂🙈
Hi Tina, how would you list seasonal TA experience? The courses I TA for are offered in the Fall semester, and I do it yearly. If I list a continuous timeline, it's not exactly accurate. Is it a big problem? How should I list it?
Good question! I would list it under one heading but just put a list of date ranges :)
Tina, it is cool that you are sharing your resume and experiences. I am an SE from South-East-Asia, trying to find Data jobs at FAANG. Is it possible for me to apply for these jobs without having visa beforehand? Does FAANG provide sponsorship from hires outside the state? Thank you beforehand!
Was it tough having to pick up so many languages within 2 years of the masters programme, having come from a non-tech bachelors background?
Omg YES lol I always say that my masters degree destroyed my ego haha
What did you do when you were not in college? Like on summer break. Did you do internship or anything related to computer science?
Hi! Nah I did mostly biology/wet lab research with animals and proteins. Nothing related to computer science or data science
Thanks for such an informative video. Could you make a video on switching backgrounds like this? I wanted to get into MCIT but not really familiar with the way I should prep my application. I have a background in Economics (BS and MS) from the best institutes in my country (India). No work experience as of now but I will be starting as an analyst in risk division of Standard Chartered in June. I want to apply this fall. Any guidance would be really helpful. Thanks.
Where did you do this resume, if it's not Word?
Hi TinaI am applying for Data Science jobs currently, this video really helped me!
Can you please share the resume building tool you used for this?
Super late to the game on this video hah. But just came to say that I use the exact same format for my resume too!
Yay!! My favourite format by far since it's clear, can cram lots of stuff in, ATS friendly, and couldn't possibly trigger anyone since it's so plain haha.
Really good video
I am very much resume-jealous right now :D
Hii. Java isn't really used for data science right?? I am deep into python and i think I'll take up R as well cuz its recommended more for data analytics. Should i do just basic Java and leave it at that???
I'm wondering the same thing
Python and r are the main data science tools
Agree with joes comment! I would also add that in industry the most commonly used are SQL and python. I personally think you should choose 1 of python or R because they are quite interchangeable for the most part. Since python has better ml support and is more commonly used in industry I recommend it over R. Hope this helps :)
Where do you find these clips fitting perfectly to your examples like the mail guy
Great organized Resume.. What to do with Awards section? any ideas? Do external companies care about previous company performance awards?
Hmm that’s a good question! I would put that under the section with the company with clear explanation on what it is (unless it’s very obvious like employee of the month of something).
Can anyone please share the link to this resume template? instead of providing her actual resume.
Tina, I love your plant (Ponytail palm) I had the same one but it died :{
Oh noooo! I got it because people say that it’s supposed to not die easily?? Sometimes I forget to water it and it kinda wilts but it just comes back to life if I water it some more 😅 my cat even chews on it and it’s fine 😱
God bless you! Let's get this money!!!
also, the sound effects are fleeeky haha
Is knowledge of html,css,javascript necessary to b a ml engineer ?
Is there any particular website that you would recommend for building your resume? @Tina Huang
Hi! I just used word. I think simple templates are usually the best because it's easy to parse and can get more information in. If you're entering a more creative field could try latex, which is what I used before. They have some pretty nice templates :)
@@TinaHuang1 Thanks a lot!!!😊
By taking out the U you have turned your back on all moose and maple syrup kind😤
(Loving your videos btw, just started watching a few days ago now that I graduated from CS)
HAHHA ❤️ never again! So glad you’ve enjoyed the videos
Do I need to have a masters' degree to get hired for a data science role?
Hey tina
What you think about mention code projects on resume ? And Incomplete (quited) post graduate courses ?
Hi Tina, I'm a currently in masters program for ds and I do no have any kind of experience, I have mechanical background with irrelevant ds experience not sure how to build a resume that would get me an entry level interview.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you for educating videos :)
it was a typing mistake? here I was sitting and thinking, "How did she manage everything at the same time!?"
I am software engineer and completed recently data science certification. I have no experience in data science field in any company, But there are several jobs I can apply for but I am confused how to make a resume of what knowledge of data science I have and a project on sentiment analysis I have developed.
Can you guide me?
Thanks
You're the best✌
How do you wrangle 10TB of data ?
Sorry very new to this
thanks
Thanks for sharing this! I’m excited to start my Data Science program next year. What would you say are the most important programs you use for your job on a daily basis?
Congrats!! Hmm what do you mean by programs? If by coding languages, I use python, SQL, and a bit of R once in a while (but that’s more just preference).
@@TinaHuang1 thank you!! Have you had to use Tableau? I’ve seen some other data scientists say they use it.
Nope I haven’t!
@@eileenreyes6868 It is mostly data analysts who use Tableau. Data science is about building a model for organizing unstructured data. Data analysis is more focused on visualizing that data. Hope this solves your confusion.
Hey Tina! Could I use this format for software engineering roles as well? I'm in the market for both data science and software engineering roles
Hey Tina, big fan of your videos
What do you suggest a guy who is doing a master's in data science and wants to join FAANG companies after that?
it's usually people at Amazon that use acronym faang because it's the easiest
Normally you'd just say the company like Netflix or Google
Should I go for Masters or do you think I stand a good chance with a Bachelors and a few internships?
Im in the same boat i plan on doing a entry level data analyst job while doing a part time masters in bioinformatics
from where can I get this resume format ?
Do you have a video of how you moved from pharmacology to data science? ?
Ohh I’ve touched on it but it’s basically I did research at bioinformatics lab and learned out to code then got a masters in cs
Your channel is really good. How do you practice Big data and get experience if you are just BI engineer.
Hmm I’ve never been a BI engineer and I’m currently a data scientist
Thank you a lot
5:00 while I agree you should be putting quantifiable info on your resume. Lets be honest unless you are a higher level manager (or in Sales), most people are either completely making up the data (or at the very least only cherry picking a subet of data). Example of a LinkedIn profile I saw recently, Product Owner : Managed multiple cross functional development teams with 100% percent of Software Releases being completed on time/budget. That means nothing, if defects were found after deployment. When I want to get a good chuckle, I will look at LinkedIn profiles of some people I used to work with. The reality is there is no true quantifiable tracking in a lot of positions. Even if you work in a call center where they track (average number of calls, average time spent on the phone), that doesn't measure how effective the rep is actually helping the customer resolve issues. Perhaps the customer just got pissed off and either hung up and called back, or found the answer themselves online, etc.
Which of the FAANG companies did she get into?
Please report to HR first thing Monday morning to discuss your resume (joke). Nice job sharing thank you!
WoW, it looks like there a big jump from your undergraduate to master.
I see your email in the description, but just wanted to make sure if would you mind if I emailed you about my similar experience to see if you might have any possible guidance? I feel I can't really paint a picture for you in this comment. Thanks for the video, existing, and whatnot!
Are there many new hires in their late twenties or early thirties?
Yup!! All walks of life. I can’t say that tech is unbiased in every way but I think compared to many other industries it’s much better if you’re concerned about that :)
What happens if you are a grad student with no relevant professional experience at all
