welcome

Thanks for purchasing the MEAP of Acing the Data Science Interview. I hope that what you'll get access to will be of immediate use to you. With your feedback, I believe the final book has the potential to become a comprehensive practical guide for data scientists wanting to start or progress in their careers, no matter what stage they are in.

Data science is a fascinating and rewarding profession. With the recent tech layoffs, our industry has suddenly become more competitive. And even though employers still fight for talent, you need to be smarter about how you demonstrate your value. The approach Gilfoyle took in episode 2 of Silicon Valley is not going to cut it. By the end of the book, you will be able to:

Develop the best data science resume and project portfolio you've ever had;
Use recruitment insider techniques to get job interviews;
Grow a dependable professional network even if you don't think of yourself as an extrovert;
Get enough practice with data science interview questions to be confident and successful when you face the real thing.

The book is divided into two parts. The first covers the selection process, from creating an effective resume to building a network and passing the screening call that give you access to the interview process.
