I am definitely going with that charity data analysis thing. Here in India most of the NGOs collect data but that data seems to be of no use as there will be no analysis by them. I would like to get my hands of that data and help them to improve their social welfare services. Thanks for the great idea Ken.
I see real value and useful tips in all your videos. You go straight to the point and come across as a credible person. I wish you more success and happiness. Thank you!
1) Campus Research Opportunities 2) Personal Projects - some kind of real world feedback. Share them online 3) School Work - articulate it very well 4) Internship 5) Freelance 6) Free work for a real client like a social organization
@Ken Lee I've just discovered your channel. You're doing a very nice job with your videos (a balance of practical tips and encouraging advice.) Keep up the great work. 😊
hey ken, just found your channel. as someone who is aspiring make a career change towards data science, your videos have a lot of helpful content for a beginner like me. thanks and as always keep up the good work!
Hi, I just completed way college degree four months ago, did data science course with getsmarter. Now my question is, on my LinkedIn profile should what words should I use as head (should I put data scientist for recruiters to find me or just write a graduate). I don't know. Plz help. Cheers.
Hey Ken, thanks for another great video! I have a question regarding working for a non-profit or a small company though. Do you literally knock on their door and ask if you could apply your skills to their project? I was thinking of doing this as an option if I don't get an internship before I graduate.
I would recommend reaching out through your network or via LinkedIn. I would also make sure you have thought out the project that you would like to do for them. If they are harder to reach, you can always try to meet one of the employees for coffee to learn more about the organization. Once you have them there in person you can propose doing some free work. Hope this helps!
@Jaemin Lee One other thing that works is joining online groups or going to real life meetups for entrepreneurs and small businesses, or to events organized by local chambers of commerce. You'll meet people who could be helped using skills learned by a good data scientist. Many times you won't need complex, time consuming solutions, but that doesn't mean that your input and problem solving skills are less valuable. 😊
Hi Anna - I recommend looking through your personal network. If you have a friend that owns a company or their parents, that is a good start. Even if it is a small business or grocery store. Also, looking at local non-profits or startups that are short staffed are good options. I hope this helps!
@@KenJee_ds , thanks! I have such plan. I watch as many thematic videos as possible. And I find out as much as possible about the data science community. And I ask questions, meet people, tell about myself. And I hope I can find my first useful, not educational experience such way. It’s also very exciting and enjoyable for me.😸 Hi, my name is Anna, I'm senior system analyst from Russia, and I'm junior in data science. Nice to meet you!🤗 I skimed your channel and found out many useful themes there. Big work👍
@@annachurkina2588 hey. Were you successful in getting any free jobs? Is equally like to get one. If you don't mind, could I contact you to know how you went about the free job.
Hey ken all your video are very helpful for beginner data S like me. You have the correct words in place to motivate people. I live in Canada and I want you to suggest to me what kind of free service, data Scientist can propose to a small business. Thank
Glad it was helpful! If you get to know the business you can start to identify challenges they face. Most companies face challenges with inventory management, advertising, etc. You may be able to help one of those issues with data!
Hey Ken, I heard that one needs to have an advanced degree or a lot of knowledge in calculus and statistics in order to get a job in data science. I’m interested in getting into data science and big data but am not sure about having the “required” formal education with advanced mathematics. Thanks!
A good place to start may be a data analyst position on a team that works closely with data scientists. The barrier to entry is lower and you will get a feel for what part of the work you like. A company is much more likely to promote you into a position with less experience if they know you work hard and if you have provided value in a different role.
Thanks for watching the video! A large portion of data scientists do have advanced degrees ~ 90% according a thread I found on reddit (I think it is probably lower than this). I truly believe that if you can perform the work, you can absolutely get a job in data science without additional formal education. It may be more of an uphill battle, but you can definitely do it. One option that you could consider would be to do a part time masters degree. You can apply for jobs while you do this, many people will think of it like you have already earned the degree. If you get a job, you can stop going to classes or see it through if you enjoy it.
Hi Is it possible to get entry level data analytics job without a degree?? I am a 32 year old college student driving for uber in LA. I hate my life right now lol Learning python / XL/ SQL /tablue Online now .planning to do Udacity data Analytics nano degree Like to know ur thoughts Thanks 🙏🏽
Hi, thanks for watching my video! I think that it is absolutely possible to get an entry level data analytics job without a degree. I would recommend doing one certification and a TON of projects. I have a video on the types of projects that you should do to set yourself up for success. For an analyst job I think that it is possible to get in on the ground floor, but this would be a lot more difficult for a pure data science position. I hope this helps!
I am having a master in Computational and Data Science. I have a lot of subjects like scientific computing, parallel computing, algorithm engineering. Can you please tell me how important are these subjects in the field of Data Science and Machine Learning since i want to deep into those areas.
Hello Ken, thanks for motivating. Could you please help how to put into working model for free at a non-profit organization? I find it hard to find a partner to work on personal project. Any tips and tricks would really help me.
Hi Sundarrajan - I recommend following along with my project from scratch series and using a similar approach for building a model for an organization: ruclips.net/video/MpF9HENQjDo/видео.html. I recommend reaching out to non-profits in your area via linkedin or through your network to find these opportunities.
Hey ken! I just completed my graduation and I am currently doing data science course from a local reputated institute. Our exposure to actual real world work is v minimum. So some advice from a person like you will mean a lott.
Congrats on graduating! This video is definitely for you then. I would definitely tap the resources of the institute you are learning from as well as the school you just graduated from.
A few things I omitted are Hackathons and Kaggle competitions. These are both great ways to earn experience as well!
Thank you bro
Thanks for sharing..... Working for free at the initial level is the best way to prove our work...
Thanks for watching Piyush! Completely agree!
Great video Ken! I think working on open source projects can be a really good idea too to gain experience.
Pro tip: just play this video at 1.5 play speed, thank me later!
Haha I actually watch all my own videos at 2x speed. I can't stand how slow I speak 😂
@@KenJee_ds, appreciate how good you took my comment man, wish you all the best :D
I think 1.5 is a bit too fast for me, but definitely going with 1.25. Thank you for the tip!
I needed this a LOT! Thanks Ken

Now my question is, on my LinkedIn profile should what words should I use as head (should I put data scientist for recruiters to find me or just write a graduate).

I think that putting something like "Aspiring Data Scientist" or something along those lines would make the most sense.

Hi, thanks for watching my video! I think that it is absolutely possible to get an entry level data analytics job without a degree.
I would recommend doing one certification and a TON of projects. I have a video on the types of projects that you should do to set yourself up for success.
For an analyst job I think that it is possible to get in on the ground floor, but this would be a lot more difficult for a pure data science position.
I hope this helps!
I am having a master in Computational and Data Science. I have a lot of subjects like scientific computing, parallel computing, algorithm engineering. Can you please tell me how important are these subjects in the field of Data Science and Machine Learning since i want to deep into those areas.
Depends on what work you are doing. I think you can find a job that leverages those skills!

why all data science roles ask for masters?
Generally it is a screen mechanism. I think the expectations are changing though
Hey ken!
I just completed my graduation and
I am currently doing data science course from a local reputated institute.
Our exposure to actual real world work is v minimum. So some advice from a person like you will mean a lott.
Congrats on graduating! This video is definitely for you then. I would definitely tap the resources of the institute you are learning from as well as the school you just graduated from.
sir are data structure and algorithm asked in data science jobs?
They can be. They won't be as common as in software engineering interviews though!
Thanks
I'm a data analyst freelancer hope to connect with data analysts
Feel free to join the #66daysofdata movement/ discord, we have a great network through that
