* I am assuming you are applying/interviewing for developer jobs.

Stop worrying about being "too bubbly or enthusiastic", coming across young & organizing meetups.

Start worrying about not having outside work projects & being weak on technical questions.

You need to be able to prove to a potential employer that you can do the job. Organizing meetups is nice but does not show anything about your development skills. A github profile with a few projects related to the type of development you want to get into will do much more for you than anything else.

Thanks for replying, Jackson.

Well, I do have a share of nontrivial projects on github, I just don't think they'll attract companies. I've done a fair share of web scraping as projects (like scraping GSMarena for phones, or the Apple store for information + reviews). It's not exactly the sort of stuff to display though, in the way that someone who does iOS/Android/web dev can display.

I did want to create a web frontend to the GSMArena data, maybe I should extend that with something on the frontend.
