Question 1

Why do you ask for experience in a specialization area?

Accepted Answer

Your experience in specialization area helps us match with the right jobs. This helps in roles such as Product Management or Data Science where people move after working in some other fields.

This helps us match someone with "7 year industry experience but just 1 year experience in Data Science" with a job that needs 0 to 1 year experience in Data Science.
