Specific terms used in resumes to highlight skills and experience relevant to data science roles are crucial for applicant tracking systems and recruiters. Examples include “machine learning,” “Python,” and “statistical modeling.” Selecting the right terms to include depends heavily on the specific requirements of each job description.
Effective use of these targeted terms increases the visibility of a resume to potential employers. Matching resume terminology to the language of job postings helps demonstrate a candidate’s suitability for a given role. This practice has become increasingly important with the rise of automated resume screening and the growing competitiveness of the data science field.
