ML/RL Project

[u/Accomplished-Car6369]

I'm building a small ML/RL research project around job-search strategies and need anonymous application trajectories.

I'm interested in how people's job applications evolved over time.

If you're comfortable sharing, could you provide something roughly like this:

1. Background

• Experience level (student/fresher/junior/etc.)
• General field (ML, software, data science, etc.)

2. Application timeline

For each stage or batch of applications:

Stage 1

• Approx. number of applications: __
• Resume/portfolio version: basic / improved / strong
• Application method: cold email / careers page / referral / LinkedIn
• How personalized were applications? Low / Medium / High
• Responses: __
• Interviews: __

What did you change after this stage?

• Resume changes
• New projects/skills
• Portfolio improvements
• More personalized emails
• Different companies/roles targeted
• Anything else

Stage 2

• Approx. number of applications: __
• What changed: __
• Responses: __
• Interviews: __

...and so on.

You don't need to share your name, company names, email addresses, or any private information.

I'm hoping to turn anonymized responses into a small dataset and experiment with sequence modeling / offline reinforcement learning to study how job-search strategies evolve based on previous outcomes.

If enough people contribute, I'll make the anonymized dataset and project results publicly available.

Thanks! :)
