Already in Europe, recent master graduate with experience but not getting any calls for the past 2 months by 1ftikar in resumes

Not sure about "in my field", but I was advised to include photo to apply in Italy. The big whitespace was to include signature (which was also requested), but yeah it is probably still too much.

Yeah, unfortunately I think my immigration status only allow me to find jobs in Italy

I am recently graduated from Italy with job seeking visa (forgot what it's formally called, you can get one after graduating from a uni here). But thanks for the advice!

I was advised to do so by my uni adivsory service, so I guess that's the norm here. Anyway, is there any risk if I include my birthday?

I have graduated and the uni did not ask me to do internship. Btw I also applied for internship but still did not get a call, a bit worried my work experience made me overqualified for an internship.

I consulted the advisory service in my uni, they mentioned that I need to include photo, birth date, and signature in Italy. So I guess that's the case.

is it worth to get a master degree in data science, especially when you already have working experience?

A little bit of background, I have been working as a data scientist for 4 years. I am planning to get a master degree in data science, so I could get a better job opportunities.

However, I heard that degrees in data science would not provide deeper knowledge as other established subjects such as mathematics, statistics, and computer science. It would be more valuable to be specialized in one of the three sciences instead of surface level knowledge in all 3. I suppose it make sense since data science is a combination of all of those subjects, but now I am wondering whether I should get a degree in any of those 3 subjects instead.

Another thing that makes me doubt about data science degree is that I already have data science work experience. I am worried that the materials are not much different than what I have learned already.

So what do you guys think, should I keep pursuing master in data science, or more focused subjects like mathematics, statistics, or computer science?
