Data Science Projects to get more Callbacks
Problems, solution, metrics for projects and which companies gave the callback
Since 2019, I’ve talked to hundreds of people about breaking into data science. No matter how much hiring changes, the same two factors keep coming up: who refers you and what projects are on your resume.
Networking is important, but there’s only so much concrete advice anyone can give beyond reaching out to people and building relationships.
Projects are different. Over the years, I’ve collected more than 100 real projects that people told me helped them get callbacks, start interview conversations, and ultimately land jobs. This post is a collection of those projects - the ones that actually opened doors.


This is really good resource. I wonder how do we get data to actual build a project that will open doors? Are there any good open source datasets? Thanks !
