Overview of Data Science Career Services

If we have not yet met, my names is Adam Ross Nelson. I'm a data scientist and a career coach. I help mid- and late-career professionals transition into or level up in data. In 2023 I have added to my team a small collection of resume writers, interview coaches, sub-consultants, ghost consultants, and an operations manager. I (and we) have been busy this year.

In this blog post, we'll recap what we've accomplished in the past twelve months. For example we kicked off the year by publishing a new blog. We also continue to write high-quality content on data science, careers, and other related topics at Medium.com. We pushed past publishing over 100 articles on Medium.com this year!

The new website is fully implemented with Kajabi, and the book How to Become A Data Scientist: A Guide For Established Professionals is in production. Perhaps one of the most exciting developments is that we added new team members. New team members include resume writers, interview coaches, and an operation manager.

Stay tuned for more great things to come in 2023!

New Career Services Team Members

New members of the team (sub-consultants and also ghost consultants) include resume writers, interview coaches, and an operation manager. I am confident that I have the best team of data science career professionals ever.

I had two goals in expanding the team. First, I needed an assistant to help with emails, scheduling, record keeping, and other general operations. Second, I needed fulfillment partners to help me review and write resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and also cover letters directly for career services clients.
