Keep it to one page Recruiters skim resumes quickly. Keep your strongest material visible by trimming older or less relevant entries before reducing font size or margins. 83% of the 12 resumes read in full are one page. ### 2. Lead with education while you are in school Place your school, degree, and graduation date at the top while you are a student. Once internships communicate more than coursework, move experience above education. Education comes before experience on 82% of the 11 resumes whose sections we could read. ### 3. Count internships, research, and projects as experience Internships, co-ops, research, and teaching-assistant roles count as experience. If you do not have roles yet, use a projects section to show what you built, the tools you used, and the result. Among the 12 full resumes, 67% list at least one internship or co-op, a typical resume lists three roles, and 67% have a projects section. ### 4. Put a number in your bullet points Open each bullet with what you did and close with the result. Numbers such as users, revenue, latency, accuracy, or hours saved make results concrete and easy to scan. A typical resume has 16 bullets, and 46% include a figure. ### 5. Name specific skills and tools List the languages, frameworks, and tools you have actually used. Group them by type and use the terminology from the job description. Skip soft skills; demonstrate them through your bullets. A typical resume lists 26 skills. The most-listed skills are PostgreSQL (50%), AWS (42%), Docker (42%), Git (42%), and Systems (33%). ## Top skills on resumes that passed Microsoft’s screen | Skill | Share of resumes | Resumes | |---|---:|---:| | PostgreSQL | 50% | 6 | | AWS | 42% | 5 | | Docker | 42% | 5 | | Git | 42% | 5 | | Systems | 33% | 4 | | SQL | 33% | 4 | | Python | 33% | 4 | | Data | 33% | 4 | | C++ | 33% | 4 | | Learning | 25% | 3 | | MongoDB | 25% | 3 | | MySQL | 25% | 3 | ## Microsoft Data Scientist resumes by the numbers Based on 12 resumes, updated Nov 2, 2026. | Measure | Result | |---|---| | Verified | 1 confirmed to have landed the interview | | Level | 58% new grad, 25% intern, 8% full-time | | Top schools | Chongqing University of Science and Technology; Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar; International Institute of Information Technology, Pune | | Top skills | PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Git, Systems | | Also passed screening at | Google, Amazon, JP Morgan Chase | | Length | 83% are one page | | Internships | 67% list at least one internship or co-op | | Roles listed | 3 on a typical resume | | Highest degree | Master’s, 58% | | Graduation years | 2026 (4) | ## FAQ ### Are these real Data Scientist resumes?
