To improve your chances, tailor your resume to highlight relevant skills like Python, R, SQL, and machine learning, and include any hands-on projects or internships showcasing real data problem-solving. Emphasize projects with clear outcomes using tools like Tableau or Power BI. Consider contributing to open-source projects or competitions on Kaggle to build your portfolio. Networking, attending industry meetups, and seeking certifications in tools like AWS or Azure can also strengthen your profile. Additionally, one advice I always give - build your portfolio on open source platform like GitHub and include this link in your resume. Your portfolio can include projects related to your industry of interest like utilities where you can show gain/loss of a utility company over the years using dummy data or number of households it served etc. on a dashboard. Interviewers who are looking for freshers many a times look at who got the real world understanding of problems. Hope this helps!
