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 (http://minimaxir.com) and my GitHub with open-source code/Notebooks for each and every post (https://github.com/minimaxir), both of which have topped HN on occasion.Internal recruiters have hinted that my Software QA Engineer background + no CS degree implies I have no technical skill.
