Ways to stand out before you apply
- Keep one or two small Python projects ready to show, ideally using data and a simple machine learning or NLP model. It helps to be able to explain what you built and why.
- Brush up on data structures and the basics of neural networks, so you can talk through them in plain words.
- Practise turning a result into a short write-up. Reports and presentations are part of the job, so a clear one-page summary of a past project helps.
- Try the AI tools named in the skills list on a real task, and note where each one helps and where it falls short.
- Think about how you would approach animal behaviour data, even in rough terms. It shows you have read the post.
