A useful starting point
Lead with a decision your model changed, not a Kaggle rank. Two pages. Skip a methods laundry list with no stakeholder. Skip this if the advert is a data-analyst SQL seat — use that example or you will look over-specified.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
Evidence to consider
- Problem, method, metric, decision
- Python or R you used in production or research
- Stakeholder
- Reproducibility (repo, notebook policy)
Illustrative achievement bullets
- Built a churn model that lifted retained accounts 4% after a pricing test
- Shipped a feature store table used by 3 analysts weekly
- Replaced a manual forecast; cut weekly planning time 6 hours
- Peer-reviewed 8 model cards for fairness checks before launch
