Some Reflections on Being Turned Down for a Lot of Data Science Jobs
Many recommend setting up an online portfolio for these types of positions. But I've applied to a number of Data Analyst/Scientist jobs recently and I am immediately rejected almost every time despite highlighting my blog/portfolio (<a href="http://minimaxir.com" rel="nofollow">http://minimaxir.com</a>) and my GitHub with open-source code/Notebooks for each and every post (<a href="https://github.com/minimaxir" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/minimaxir</a>), both of which have topped HN on occasion.<p>Internal recruiters have hinted that my Software QA Engineer background + no CS degree implies I have no technical skill.
