What matters for a part-time job

⏰

State availability

Evenings, weekends, term-time or holidays — availability is often the deciding factor.

🤝

Reliability & attitude

Punctuality, teamwork and willingness to learn outweigh a long history.

📄

Short & scannable

Half a page to one page is plenty for a busy manager to read at a glance.

Data Science specifics

Data and analytics recruiters look for projects, statistical and programming skills, and the ability to turn data into insight. Frame it as a question and an insight: “Analysed 10k survey responses in Python to identify three churn drivers; visualised findings in a dashboard used by the society committee.”
