Worth reading and understanding what he means - my advice would be to log onto Kaggle and do some competitions as some are for real companies and they provide realistic data. If you can do one of those and get a good result you have a better chance in the real world of work. Also, it is useful to have the code for them in Github and available for any potential interviews.
