I never said that having this stuff would get you the job offers. You still have to apply for the opportunities that are a good fit for you.

At least in the companies I've worked for in the UK and the US it should help you make it past the first filter - the "I have a stack of candidates, which of these are worth setting up an initial phone interview with" phase.

So few people even list their github profile on their resume. When I was a manager if I was reviewing resumes and you had a github profile listed your odds of getting that first screening call went up dramatically.
Welp, I have a semi decent profile on Github. Recently I applied for around 100 small startups based in EU/UK, Got a total of 1 callback. In short, I followed all the steps mentioned but still fell flat. Really curious what are your thoughts on this.

Here's my Resume for reference: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u9F8_2m2W1mcKIoFs3hwUEn5Kgf...
