This course offers extremely valuable insights into the job-hunting process specifically for those seeking work in data science. Those who faithfully follow the lessons and advice provided will undoubtedly find employment before too long. One suggestion I have for either additional content or a sequel course is to include material related to freelancing. Not everyone wants to work for a company but would rather be their own boss.

This was an amazing course. Ken gives a treasure trove of information and tools about starting and getting into Data Science and ML. This information is invaluable to anyone just starting out in this field. I especially like the interview section where he interviews people to get information on what is expected once you get the call for a prospective employer. Excellent work Ken and keep doing it. Thanks.

It's interesting and informative... A clear breakdown of the steps any aspiring data scientist should take... I love the course (Would have been interesting to see ken building a project from the beginning on the course, but I understand it would have been probably time consuming, nonetheless this is highly detailed course I would recommend to all aspiring data scientists)

very overwhelming, some parts like building portfolio etc could be clear, that was too fat to understand for beginners. Didn't talk much about how beginners with no prior experience could start a career in data science.

I follow Ken Jee from Youtube for about 2 years already and he is the reason why I had a huge interest in this field and decided to change my career. Everything he explained was on point and clear. Huge Thanks

“Did you know that the success rate for data science applications is well below 5%? This number isn't so low because most applicants are not qualified. It's because most people don't properly showcase their work and make a compelling case for themselves to the employers. This course will teach you how to avoid these mistakes.”
