> Build a small personal project and put the code on GitHub. Accompany it with a README with a detailed description of the project and screenshots of it in action—almost no-one does this, it only takes a few hours extra and it massively increases the impact your project will have on hiring managers who are checking you out. This is one of the key things I pointed out in a post I made after going through a lot of co-op resumes and interviews[1]. A little documentation and attention to detail goes a long way! If someone looks promising I DO look at their LinkedIn/GitHub/Website because it gives me some indication into their capabilities and whether they're willing to go a little above and beyond (to learn or present themselves more professionally online). I know not everyone has the time to do this (I have a 7 year old and don't have a great online presence) but if you're trying to start out in this industry it should be the minimum you're willing to do. 1 https://www.samuelrussell.net/posts/developer-hiring-dos-and... |
