_Any_ reasonable experience nullifies personal projects. The myth that a personal github account full of open source personal project activity is the only way to go should die already.

Once I had some good volunteer experience outside of work, I listed those like they were jobs and dropped projects and GitHub from my resume.

Hasn't been a problem.
