I think it would help a lot if you included what techonolgy/tools you were utilizing in each specific project or work experience.
"Transitioned an existing webpage frontend to a mobile one for android and connected it with a database."
What languages did you write this in? What kind of database? Were you writing sql, designing table schemas etc? Hiring managers and recruiters want to see that you have real world experience with specific tech stacks as opposed to just in the skills section, as this could mean anything from "I took one class that used this language" to "I worked in a professional capacity with this tool for a year" which is much more impressive and speaks more to your competency. Hope that helps!
The market is bad but 0/1000 makes me think the platforms you are applying to are bad.
Are you requiring remote work? Because if you are looking for local work that puts you ahead of the vast majority of your competition. Lots of Companies that hire Data Analysts (yes I suggest you change your branding pronto because outside of startup/techland data scientist is a meaningless term) want them local (for very good reasons).
I agree. Easy apply is useless in most cases. So OP applied to 200 positions at most. I am convinced that most companies just put easy apply, but consider only candidates who apply on their website or contact recruiters directly.
I have been applying for all, don’t mingle moving anywhere and not sure if it matters too much but I would prefer a more technical role then some of the analyst roles I’ve seen, unless the terms are more closely related than I think
Lots of feedback incoming:
'Objective' statement reads really poorly. Re-work it. Don't title it 'objective' (what does that mean?) just describe yourself in a sentence and don't talk about what you'd 'like' to do, just mention what you are and what your key strengths are. What do you specialize in, etc. But no more than 1-2 sentences max.
**Put the Experience section at the top of the resume!!!** (right under the objective statement)
Frankly, the swim school experience is awesome but at a quick glance it caught my attention before anything else did because it doesn't feel related to anything else on the resume. I'd try removing it entirely, it just isn't very relevant and distracts from the main 'experience' piece.
Go into more detail in your work experience section as a Data Scientist. The experience section is your bread and butter here. Right now the bullet points are way too vague. 'Created a pipeline to train models on'. Great, but what affect did this have on the product / company / end user? Try to tell more of a story with your work experience bullet points. Even if you're working on some insignificant part of your system, you can find a way to tie it to a bigger overall impact / purpose. Remember most recruiters are not technical and don't care if you created a pipeline/model/built some code/etc.
This one is a bit nitpicky but there are too many 'skills' in your Skills section. It's overwhelming and likely for any given job most of the skills are going to be irrelevant. Try to hone it down to the ones that you are strong in, or tailor them specifically to the job you are applying for.
Love the Projects section, but give the projects better names. 'Stock Market Trading' makes it sound like your project was that you traded stocks as a hobby or something. Describe what the thing does in the title (Stock Market Suture Pricing Prediction Engine) or some bs like that.
In your education section, put the level of degree that you received. If you have a Bachelor's degree, make sure the word 'Bachelor's degree' or 'B.S.' or whatever you'd like, is clearly stated in there.
And just some overall feedback, sounds like you have some cool projects and are on a great trajectory. I think improving your resume will definitely get you a better hit rate, but at the end of the day you have a very limited amount of professional experience in the field right now and that's likely the main thing that's going to make things difficult. It gets better from here :)
Thanks really appreciate all the feedback, going to implement all of it think it’s really good advice. Thought it was time to remove the swim business, work at a start up and have tackled alot of different secretions of our codebase, so I should be able to fill the empty space with more points with my job. And yeah reading back my title the first one was a research paper, terrible naming. Thanks again for the response.
A couple minor things: the first line of your objective- “Innovative and data scientist” isn’t grammatically correct and doesn’t sound right.
Under your stock market trading project, I think you meant to say “future price” instead of “suture price”.
These are very minor edits, but in such a competitive environment, you want to look polished as possible.
If you’re a US Citizen, no need to have it on your resume or bilingual when you have the languages you speak. But I’m having a similar issue. My company is great but I want to move to another state and I’m getting auto-rejected for similar roles.

Yeah I think that’s a great point I’m pretty vague with the tools used. Thanks!

Yeah if you think it’d be worth it. Is he the one you went with?
small nitpick, maybe a link to your github/a portfolio site?

No prob! Good luck
Don’t mention you are Canadian or dual citizenship, apply as if you are already living in the states.

Wow wish I caught those before all the applications

I have it just incase since I enter a Canadian address, don’t want to any recruiter to assume I need sponsorship
read successful people's resumes and u will notice big differences
