I got tired of being rejected, so I made a website that only lists legit AI training jobs.

The last few months I found it annoying finding the right AI training/annotating jobs with a decent acceptance rate. Long story short, I made my own website that only lists legit listings with good acceptance rates. Any feedback would be appreciated!: https://aiannotationjobs.com

How the heck do I pass SQL interviews

Hi, currently an early career job seeker applying for Data Science ft and intern roles.

I've had about three live SQL interviews over the past year and I haven't passed a single one. I do SQL leetcode and online problems I find from statascratch pretty much everyday as part of a routine. I'd say I'm able to solve SQL mediums on leetcode pretty consistently. the main issue I run into is that the questions I run into in these interviews are patterns that I've never seen before and have literally no idea how to handle. Its really frustrating because I practice so much and I'm never able to perform in even basic internship interviews.

Does anyone have any good resources for learning a lot of the SQL patterns that interviewers actually use?? (I recently encountered a gaps and islands problem and I've literally never seen anything like it for example).

Thanks so much, have been struggling a lot and really would appreciate advice.

International MSc Data Science graduate struggling to get shortlisted for UK data roles — looking for honest advice

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some honest advice from people working in recruitment, hiring, or data/AI careers in the UK.

I'm an international student who completed an MSc in Data Science in June 2026, and I'm currently looking for UK opportunities. I've been applying mainly for Graduate/Junior Data Scientist, Data Analyst and Data Engineer roles, but I'm getting a lot of rejections and very few opportunities to progress to interviews.

My background includes:

  • MSc in Data Science, completed June 2026
  • BTech in Data Science & AI
  • Python, SQL, Power BI and Excel
  • Machine learning and statistical analysis
  • Time-series modelling (ARIMA/SARIMA)
  • Retail/customer analytics involving 500k+ transactions
  • Published work on retail sales forecasting
  • Data/technology internship experience
  • Current NGO/volunteer experience involving Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, databases and working with non-technical stakeholders

I'm tailoring my CV to individual job descriptions rather than sending exactly the same CV everywhere. I'm also trying to be realistic about the roles I apply for and focus on positions where my experience genuinely matches the requirements.

Despite this, I'm struggling to get through the initial CV screening stage.

I'd really appreciate honest advice on:

  1. How competitive does this profile look for UK graduate/junior data roles?
  2. Is being an international graduate with limited UK commercial experience a significant disadvantage?
  3. Should I be focusing more heavily on Data Analyst roles rather than Data Scientist roles?
  4. What are recruiters actually looking for when screening candidates at this level?
  5. How important is ATS keyword matching in practice?
  6. Are there weaknesses or red flags in my profile that I might not be seeing?
  7. If you were in my position, what would you change about the job-search strategy?

I'm not looking for generic advice like "apply to more jobs" or "network more." I'm trying to understand what is actually preventing me from getting shortlisted and what I can realistically change.

I'm also open to internships, placements, contract roles and other entry-level opportunities where I can gain UK commercial experience and demonstrate my capabilities. My priority at this stage is getting that first opportunity to prove myself in the UK market.

I'd especially appreciate perspectives from UK recruiters/hiring managers or international graduates who recently went through the same process.

Thanks in advance.

I Tried ChatGPT to Fix My Resume. Here’s Why It Missed the Point.

Comparing https://resume.zoevera.com against https://chatgpt.com

And what a purpose-built ATS checker caught that GPT-4 didn’t.

Let me be upfront: I use ChatGPT for everything. Code reviews, draft emails, explaining stack traces at 2am. It’s genuinely useful. So when I needed to tailor my resume for a senior backend role, my first instinct was to open a chat window.

That was three weeks ago. Here’s what I learned.

What ChatGPT actually does well

Ask ChatGPT to “improve my resume” and it will:

  • Clean up passive voice (“responsible for” → “led”)
  • Suggest stronger action verbs
  • Add structure and formatting consistency
  • Rewrite vague bullets into something that sounds more impressive

For general writing quality, it’s genuinely good. If your resume reads like it was written by someone who hasn’t slept in 48 hours, ChatGPT will fix that.

What ChatGPT fundamentally cannot do

Here’s the problem: ChatGPT doesn’t know what job you’re applying for.

You can paste the job description into the prompt, sure. But there’s no mechanism for it to:

  1. Score your resume against that specific JD — it has no concept of a match percentage
  2. Identify which keywords are present vs. missing — it will suggest improvements but won’t systematically audit keyword coverage
  3. Know how Applicant Tracking Systems parse text — it will rewrite content without knowing whether an ATS will ever see it

ATS filters work on keyword frequency and placement. A resume that reads beautifully to a human can score 40% on an ATS if the right terms aren’t in the right sections. ChatGPT optimizes for human readers. ATS systems are not human readers.

I ran a test. Same resume, same job description (Backend Engineer, Node.js/AWS stack). I gave ChatGPT the full JD and asked it to optimize my resume for ATS.

The output was well-written. It added “microservices” and “REST APIs” in a few places. But it missed:

  • “AWS Lambda” — mentioned 4 times in the JD, absent from my resume after the rewrite
  • “CI/CD pipeline” — appeared in the required skills section, never added
  • The Projects section — ChatGPT rewrote my experience bullets but left the Projects section untouched, which is where most of my relevant backend work lived

When I ran the same resume through resume.zoevera.com, it flagged all three gaps explicitly, with section-level attribution. The ATS match score went from 54% to 81% after applying the suggested changes.

The core difference: diagnostic vs. generative

ChatGPT is a generative tool. It produces new text. It’s very good at that.

An ATS checker is a diagnostic tool first. It measures the gap between your resume and a specific job description, then tells you exactly what’s missing. The rewrite comes second — and it’s grounded in what was actually identified as absent, not what the model thinks sounds better.

This distinction matters because:

ChatGPT hallucinates improvements. It will add metrics you never achieved (“improved system performance by 35%”), use terminology that
sounds right but wasn’t in the JD, and rewrite bullets that didn’t need rewriting while leaving critical gaps untouched. Every line needsfact-checking.

A purpose-built tool works from the actual gap. The keywords it adds are the ones the JD asked for. The sections it flags are the ones the ATS will score. The output is closer to submission-ready.

A practical workflow

These tools aren’t mutually exclusive. The best result I got came from using both in sequence:

  1. ATS checker first: identify the keyword gaps and get a scored rewrite that closes them
  2. ChatGPT second: use it to polish tone, tighten sentences, and clean up anything that sounds mechanical

The ATS checker handles precision. ChatGPT handles prose quality. Neither does both well alone.

The cost argument

ChatGPT Plus is $20/month. If you’re actively job searching, that’s a fixed overhead whether you use it or not.

Most people search for jobs in windows — a few weeks of active applications, then nothing for months. A per-session model makes more
sense: pay when you need it, nothing when you don’t. ZoeVera’s pricing works that way — free analysis, one-time payment for the full
rewrite, no subscription.

For a developer audience specifically: if you’re applying to 10–15 roles over two weeks, you’re not optimizing resumes 365 days a year. The math on a monthly subscription doesn’t work.

What I’d actually recommend

  • If you just need better writing: ChatGPT is fine and you already have it
  • If you’re applying to roles where ATS filtering is real (any company using Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS): use a dedicated ATS checker first, then polish with ChatGPT
  • If you’re a developer and haven’t thought about this: your resume probably uses technical jargon that means something to you and nothing to an ATS keyword parser. “Built scalable backend” is not the same as “developed microservices architecture using Node.js and AWS ambda” — even if the underlying work is identical

The ATS doesn’t know what you meant. It only knows what you wrote.

Tested against a real Backend Engineer job description. Tools used: ChatGPT GPT-4o, https://resume.zoevera.com. June 2026.

Masters in Data Science and Engineering worth it for switch ?

Hi 👋

I recently started working in IT about 2 years ago. I am currently ATSE at a large crm firm. I am thinking of moving towards data engineering and data science roles. I am thinking of doing a masters course online to make this switch/pivot. Can you let me know if an ms/mtech would be helpful to male this change? Which courses will help me in this ? Would it be okay to do an online course instead of an online course campus degree ? I do not have a background in CS.

I would really appreciate your views and suggestions on this. Thanks.

Trying to find Data Science, Analyst and AIML jobs as a 2026 new grad

I’m a 2026 CSE (AI/ML) new grad and have been unemployed since graduation. I’ve done an AI/ML internship, a remote Data Science fellowship, and several AI/ML and software projects throughout college. I’ve also been upskilling in Python, SQL, Statistics, Power BI, Excel, AWS, ML/AI, etc.

Despite all this, I’m struggling to even get interviews, and the few I do get often end in rejection. The growing employment gap is starting to worry me. I’m mainly applying for entry-level Data Analyst, Data Science and AI/ML roles.

For those who’ve been through something similar — what am I doing wrong? Resume, skills, projects, applications, interviews, or just the current market? I can also share my resume if anyone’s willing to take a look and point out anything that might be hurting my chances. Brutal advice is welcome.

Trouble understanding this market.

This is all my thoughts. No AI was used in this post.

I am a Data Scientist at one of the Consulting Firms. I have around 10yoexp and make in the 40-45lpa range. Been with this firm for over 2 years now.

I have a broad background in CV/NLP/GenAI, moving with the times, and have built considerable applications, some fairly advanced within GenAI, although only few around MCP, Agents.

I am trying to understand where to go from here for a higher pay/better ic opportunities and good wlb, and there seems to be limited options. I spoke with a few recruiters, but somehow no one is interested in offering upwards of 60lpa. One recruiter even suggested lowering expectations to the 50-55 range.

Plus the technical interviews, few that I've had have been bizarre. One ended up becoming a classical ML round, the other a live coding session where I had to implement a few functions in a RAG pipeline and make few improvements. I bombed both one early on and another one 2 stages in. I think I am in a deep comfort zone and have no idea how to climb out of it.

Meanwhile I see people getting pretty good offers. I know preparation and opportunity must meet at the right time. But I am also not getting a good grasp of this plot this time.

I'm trying to understand where to place my expectations for interviews, role expectations, pay and most importantly what I should prepare for going ahead.

I am feeling frustrated. What does the community think? How do I get to higher paying jobs in the data science scene right now? What are interviewers looking for?
