A data scientist resume shows models that shipped and the effect they had. Name the data size, the method and the measured result.

This opens the Make-CV editor with the example below filled in. You do not need to sign up. Edit every line so it is true for you.

Skills to list

Python
SQL
Machine learning
Statistics
Experiment design
scikit-learn or PyTorch
Data visualisation
Cloud notebooks

List only the skills you have. Use the same words as the job post so applicant tracking systems can match them.

Example bullet points

Built a churn model on 1.2M customers; the retention team's outreach lifted renewals by 6%.
Ran an A/B testing programme with 20 tests in a year and a clear decision rule.
Cut a forecasting error from 18% to 11% with a gradient boosting model.
Moved a notebook into a scheduled pipeline that runs nightly.
Explained model results to non-technical leaders in a monthly review.

These are sample lines. Replace the numbers and tools with your own. Never claim a result you did not deliver.

Tips

Say what the model changed in the business.
State how you checked it: holdout, test, backtest.
Link a public project if you can.
