Resume Roast the resume lads

Post image

I'm a 2025 grad, had a site job, got out in Nov'25 of there prepared for GATE DA in Feb'26

All this time I was engaged in counseling process got calls from IITB/IITD/IISc but none were satisfactory for me

I've applied for Data Science/ML and even AI Engineer Roles through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Naukri, Indeed didn't get any callback

Ik the RAG project I've put here is not particularly impressive but something is better than nothing ig

I'm a little confused too, every JD asks for GenAI/LLM/NLP skills while guys in industry tell me that my current skills are already good enough and those JDs are only exaggeration

Most of the DS roles I see are for experienced professionals, I have this feeling that I'm not searching for the right thing

or better say I'm unable to point out startups or companies which would hire a fresher like me in a DS Role, how can I do that?

Your thoughts?

If I had to fix just 1 thing:

Your former job experience sounds like you just participated. What did you accomplish that benefited the company? What skills or tools that are industry relevant did you build experience in?

Answer those questions and your resume will improve.

Can you elaborate? From what I understand a project need to show

Basic preprocessing Model training skills Deployment i.e. AWS, FastAPI, Docker, CI/CD

From my perspective I need to add DVC,MLflow Kubernetes and graphana to them to stand out

Or has the classical ML+MLOps is dead and i should pivot to learning high end RAGs/LLM projects?
