Introduction
I recently helped out in a round of interviews for an open data scientist position. As you can imagine, there were candidates from all kinds of backgrounds – software engineering, learning and development, finance, marketing, etc.
What stood out for me was the amazing range of projects some of these folks had already done. They didn’t have a lot of industry experience in data science per se, but their passion and curiosity to learn new concepts drove them to previously unchartered land.
A common theme – open source data science projects. I have been espousing their value for the last couple of years now! Trust me, recruiters and hiring managers appreciate the extra mile you go to take up a project you haven’t seen before
