This channel is so underrated

[@jasonwong8315]

most projects are boring, the way you present them matters!

[@hongkaiyu5837]

Definitely the best data science interview preparation channel I found on KZbin. Thanks for the great work Emma!

[@tqw1423]

I just completed my interview loop on Amazon. Your videos helped me a lot. Thank you! Thank you!

[@bantisinghUmath]

The way you convey crucial insights is amazing. Thanks you.

[@tingsun3388]

Fantastic tips! Thank you Emma!

[@lydiamai6861]

Hi Emma. I like the way you ask questions to transform normal tasks into an important step in the project. I will learn this technique. Your video is so useful when it is demonstrated with examples. Thanks/Lydia

[@PATRICKCHUAD]

[@hongshanlin7114]

Hi Emma, could you talk about how to do the take home challenge? How to make the powerpoint and present it?

[@emma_ding]

Thanks for the idea. That could be a great topic. Stay tuned!

[@KevinLou1]

@@emma_ding Same here! Would love to see a take home/deck-making video :)

[@SuperLOLABC]

Hey Emma, how do I show "impact" if all my projects are for university coursework or personal projects? I can just say what the project can be used for, but I can't show any numbers like "led to 15% increase in user retention" etc. What do you suggest I do then?

[@emma_ding]

Even for class or Kaggle projects, I'm assuming there are quantitative results such as accuracy, precision, recall or MSE, etc. You can tell a story of what does this metric mean, why was it difficult to achieve, how it was improved over some baseline models, etc.

[@simardeepkaur969]

Super Insightful!

[@emma_ding]

[@user-iq9fd1ql9j]

Hi Emma, could you talk about the differences in data science among different industries? For example, for fintech, what are they focus on? which kind of problem are they trying to solve? Thanks!

[@emma_ding]

Thanks for the idea. That could be a great topic. Stay tuned!

[@user-iq9fd1ql9j]

@@emma_ding I'm preparing my resume and I realized that there are few videos talking about business sense for different industries which I think it's important for a data scientist. Thanks for your help in advance!

How to get interview feedback from the recruiters? Among all the interviews I had they never provided any feedback!

[@emma_ding]

It never hurt to ask for feedback. If you couldn't get meaningful feedback, you could try mock interviews.
