It’s #transformationtuesdays where I share use cases and success stories that you can learn from, and replicate too!
If your dream is to become a Data Scientist, and you’re wondering what you need to do, and what it would take to break into one of the most sought-after jobs of the future, then this article is for you.
Today, I’m sharing the success story of Jamen Long, and how he broke into his career as a Data Scientist.
And like you, he started with zero experience.
If you’re interested to find out exactly what Jamen did, then read on.
Don’t get me wrong. He did have work experience, though his background was quite different.
But the thing is, he really wanted to take the leap and jump into a career as a Data Scientist.
He knew he needed to learn stuff like R, Python, and SQL to get started. He did some research and took some online courses, but he didn’t really feel like they were allowing him to progress logically with a step-by-step path.
That is, until he found out about DataCamp.
From then on, his focus and direction became clear. And even starting out as a beginner, he was able to make steady, meaningful progress.
“DataCamp was essential for getting my job, which was my break into data science.” – Jamen Long
