I think you have better chances at competing fors jobs if your additional skillset enhances whatever your main focus snd experience has been: DevOps tools, server scripting, cloud deployments, specific JS libraries/frameworkd, databases, AI/ML, testing, QA and design skills. Just saying I was king of JS, but left my realm to become an aspiring pythonista with 20 forked repo PRs and an "amazing" personal project won't cut it. As a tech hiring manager, if and when I cared about your internet presence, it was because of a somewhat popular Github repo or elaborate community activity. Anything else sounded like you were trying to divert my attention, or just not that focused on your work, or, if anything, GH repo work is just too difficult to verify as authentic or may instead work against you. You can however beef-up your resume with good lower level languages, specially if they compile to wasm, ie Rust. In fact any skill that could be in an employer roadmap, ie "experience migrating to Next.js" makes a great asset for your resume. |
