I'm a prospective candidate too. Kindly notify me of any watsapp group for aspirants.

elunico:
That course isn't free.

Finally. this won't be complete without mentioning the resultant "Confusion Matrix".
Managed to create a visualization for it. When visualized, we see that for most of the sections, the correct prediction was made. There were a few sections where probably not enough values to form a cell. These appear to be "Programming", "Pets", etc. Red cells mean zero. For example, there were no successful predictions for "Webmasters". Light cells mean successful predictions. Most of the cells along the diagonal are light, correlating with the fairly good accuracy obtained.
If this catches your interest, you can download the notebook here on my github and play around with it, if you want. The code is in R.

Macsjebs check the visualization for top front-page posters.

If you familiarize yourself well enough to python for data preprocessing you will realize that most of the process are same, from importing all necessary libraries to importing your data, checking the head, doing some descriptive analysis on it, removing NAN values or dropping unwanted columns, melting columns, changing columns name.. there are sepeate code for all these, but have saved everything somewhere cause I don't have time to code, I just have to rename the data name to the one am using. Don't know when last I even type code. Same with machine learning, both supervised and unsupervised, whether to create dummie variable or I want to scale data. I saved all the code there for each machine learning model too ranging from linear to logistics regression, KNN, decision trees etc.. even when using Visualization libraries like seaborn there are some crazy plot that I can't even cram the code so I have to save them all and all those code for different lines, colors too. Working smart is what it takes.

Be ready to work on their data. Is one thing of knowing how to do all those data trick, plotting chat, or graph, prediction, but explaining them is the main work there, ground yourself well on how to tell a story with your data. Know how to explain a relationship between data, correlation. And you will be asked to show your previous works. If part of their requirements required you to know SQL, Google on self join, there is this one common question they use to ask, manger to employee relations. If you are going to work on python, make sure you store your code somewhere, if u are using Jupiter just create a new page or folder and store most of your code for data preprocessing and machine learning on it.. perhaventure if you will be giving any data just copy the data into the folder where you stored your code and fire on with Jupiter.
I will also advice you to use power Bi for your Visualization, tableau will be good cause of it's dashboard and story telling page, it will catch the audience than using seaborn or matplotlib.
Don't just do anything without knowing how to explain them. I can assure you that you will forget all your code.. store them well. They might ask u to present your work with power point. Be ready to defend every u will do.
Master that power Bi well, for now is really treading in Nigeria, lost a job opportunity last two months cause I was yet to mastered it then, they were looking for a professional in PowerBI and I was new to that app then.

Since you learnt just Python. I suggest you start using Python in your day to day activities. Use Python to automate some tasks for yourself. Let me give an example.
There was a day I was told to supervise people who were loading goods into a van from a warehouse slightly far away. I was told to count the amount they loaded. Personally, I was busy with my phone and I knew that I'd most likely forget how many I had counted. I simply wrote a Python script to do that for me. All it does is initialize a variable and add 1 to it whenever I press ENTER. That way, I don't need to remember how many I have counted.
Whenever they load into the van, I switch to the running script and press enter and then go back to what I was doing.

Doing things this way helps you while you enjoy yourself. Then move on to Python libraries and frameworks that enable you to do more with Python. You should be comfortable with Python before doing this or you'll hate yourself.
Python is general purpose, so pick an area of programming you want to do and pick a Python framework for it. You'll become an expert.

Web: Django(really massive), Flask(mini framework)
Desktop apps: Kivy, PyQT, Tkinter. The first two are really massive.
Data science/ML: Anaconda stack

Just a few to mention.

Cheers!

Hey guys, stumbled upon this thread on google.
Apparently I've missed a lot.

Anyone here registered for Hash analytics internship?!!. I just did and would like to know the chances of me finishing and understanding the course content within the 1 week left to the internship.

ibromodzi:
Creating a Whatsapp group would defeat the purpose of creating this thread. This is a thread that has a lot of resources embedded in it, that anyone can come across it on the web and benefit from it (as long as Nairaland exists).

mcemmy0z:
Use python to melt it down

guitarlife2:
The OP sounds like a lazy person.
Desire is not enough, you need to demonstrate interest.
I was a banker like you for some years and it was not just desire but hunger and pursuit that got me out of that rat race.
Go on youtube and search for vidoes on careers in IT.

I would recommend you look into Data Analysis/Analytics.
THis will take you atleast 18months of serious study if you are ready.
Most people never really see it through.

If you are interested in this area, I can assist you but you need to demonstrate to me that you have done enough research.

Goodluck.

I had a friend that must call me on phone whenever I am praying... just to ask for my location...
