Data Scientist keywords to lead with
Whatever the market, a data scientist résumé is scored on role-relevant terms. Mirror the ones the job description uses — but only those genuinely in your experience.
Data Scientist résumé mistakes to fix first
- 01
AUC / F1 with no business context. A 0.91 AUC means nothing without "what decision does this drive?" — recruiters skim for impact.
- 02
No mention of deployment. JDs increasingly ask for ML in production. If every project ends at "trained the model," the score will flag it.
- 03
Heavy on Kaggle, light on shipped work. One real production model beats five tutorial-grade notebooks. Rebalance.
Best-effort guidance on common Japan conventions, not legal advice — verify specifics before relying on them, especially anti-discrimination rules.
