Resume keywords

Data Scientist resume keywords

Modeling methods and the Python stack, with experiments and business results. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.

Tools, systems and languages

  • Python
  • SQL
  • scikit-learn
  • Pandas
  • TensorFlow
  • PyTorch

Skills and methods

  • Machine Learning
  • A/B Testing

Domain knowledge

  • Statistics

How to use them

  • Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
  • Write the method, not just the outcome: "ran A/B tests" rather than "improved conversion"
  • Name the warehouse and the orchestration tool (dbt, Airflow) if you used them
  • Quantify scale: rows, tables, dashboards, stakeholders served
  • Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
