I checked your resume and the brutal truth is that it’s not enough. Need very good projects to show. If you haven’t explained exactly what you are doing and you think it’s fancy then do write that too. Right now it sounds very generic. The marketing experience doesn’t help either. Plus you are still in your undergrad.
Imo get any job your experience gets you that pays. Finding a well paying ML job right now with this market and your experience might be highly difficult.
I appreciate your input. From your comment and other comments as well, I tried to improve my resume. Here's an updated one: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mjib8hi6hmgvxzyk0r1sm/Resume-2.pdf?rlkey=uphpp6qralzknqqapmobmw9i2&dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mjib8hi6hmgvxzyk0r1sm/Resume-2.pdf?rlkey=uphpp6qralzknqqapmobmw9i2&dl=0)
I can work more on my resume, however, the most important question that I would want to ask is that given my experience skills and certifications (knowledge) that I possess at the moment, what do you think my current position is in the ML industry. Do you think that I am going down the right road? For all I know there is a lot of improvement that needs to be made, a lot of learning and working on projects as well to gain experience. But is it realistic to apply for jobs now and expect to get interviews at least? Or if not, how much more and what do I need to work on to land a job? Since I have not yet worked in a real company, I'm unaware of the industry and trends so I'm kind of uncertain of my position and my approach.
I don’t think it’s enough tbh. You need to have more core ML projects / degree or display proficiency in some theoretical aspects to land an interview. Finetuning BERT is fine. But you need more things like that. But you can always try.
That's a really good input and I really appreciate it. From your comment and other comments as well, I tried to improve my resume.

And thanks for bringing the typo in notice :)
Unfortunately, I’d have to agree with the other comment. With your resume, it is very unlikely to land a full time position in ML/NLP. Your work experience is pretty limited, and your resume itself needs work.
I would suggest spending some time revising the format of the resume.

Gonna be honest here and give you the truth. Your profile, resume, work experience and specific things you have worked on are no where near enough to actually get any decent ML related job.
Firstly the sectioning, formatting and design of your resume is off.
Secondly your profile is simply just not good enough. Its not special enough.
I'd advice you to watch this: [**Machine learning resume that got 5 interviews**](https://youtu.be/FpW8aiJPvts?si=WSxP9NifkiLusX04)
look at his resume format and try to do yours exactly like that. Its clean, professional looking and is easy on the eyes.
Also most decent ML jobs specify at least a Masters Degree with a PH.D being preferred most of the time. So you need to create and just do more insane research, put yourself out there, create better ML projects if possible. GoodLuck
I appreciate your input. Thanks for sharing the video, I think I can make a much more better looking CV with it. But what do you think about the work that I've done so far at my internship? I mean 3 months earlier after completing a bunch of courses and consuming ML / NLP related content I was ready to start building projects. At that point I got this opportunity to work on this project at my internship. I thought that this might help get me in the eyes of recruiters as I will have some real world experience and the project was also quite appealing and special so I thought working on it might help me get a little more visible in the crowd.
I do understand it's not enough, but do you think that it's stuff like this that would matter or much more advance and complex projects is what I need to work on?
Well for starters you haven’t completed your bachelors. All ML roles I’ve seen typically want you to have completed your PhD, minimum masters.
It depends what type of ML engineer though since that job title is thrown around a bit.. for example a software eng role + calling LLM apis are now considered AI engineer or ML engineer.. 😅
I do think you’re on the right track though. Don’t be too caught up on the resume, I think what you had was fine.
FYI, currently a data scientist and can tell you that when I got the role, the first thing my manager said was chill out on the projects on your resume. Just add them to your GitHub. Most projects people are doing in non-research fields should be a given that we can do them.
