With nearly a thousand jobs currently listed for telecom data analysts on Indeed and companies scrambling to design and implement big data strategies at telecom companies, a polished resume is a strong step toward a position in telecom’s big data boom.
Robert Half Technology categorized big data engineers as one of their six high-paying careers in tech in 2015 that also had rising salaries, expecting to see big data engineers get a boost in their already-strong starting salaries of $119,250 to $168,250.
“As organizations of all types launch or advance big data initiatives, many will look to hire experienced engineers who can communicate with business users and data scientists, and translate business objectives into data processing workflows,” the company concluded.
The first step to a big data job, or a new position, is a solid resume. RCR collected three examples of telecom big data resumes listed below, ranging from an experienced technologist to a soon-to-be-college graduate seeking an entry-level position. Skills, including specifics of programming languages, vendor specificity, and broad expertise are sought by many companies — but soft skills, including good communications and ability to work as part of a team, are also asked of data science experts. For students and recent graduates, mentioning coursework in the related subject areas as well as specific projects and tools used can help get a foot in the door.
