How do you know you're ready to apply for a data science or machine learning job?
▫️ Remove from your resume everything related to your education: schools, tutorials, certificates, etc.
After getting rid of all of that, would somebody hire you by looking at what's left?

If the answer is no, then you aren't ready.
Your primary asset is the experience you bring to the table. If you have none, finding a job will be hard.
I'm not talking about "years" of experience but your ability to find solutions to problems.

Experience is not necessarily related to having a job either.
In fact, a job may become detrimental to your experience because you'll have to work on something specific for too long.
Just focus on solving problems on your own. Then talk about them.

If you can show demonstrable experience solving relevant problems, nobody will care about your education credentials.
You are ready as soon as your new resume speaks for itself.
(By the way, the requirements for research positions are probably very different.)

Building machine learning alone in your basement sucks.
Follow me, and every week I'll help you navigate this thing from doing it, failing at it, learning, and fixing it.
Who knows how far we can get!

The recruiter-game is one thing. You have to play it right to win it. But that's just the beginning of the road.
In the end, doing the job —and showing you can indeed do it— is the most important thing.
Solving problems is a sure path to get hired.

If you are struggling to find relevant problems to solve, I'd suggest you look into Kaggle.
There should be more than plenty of problems to solve there, including the data you need.
