NOTE

Showcase Your Work to Stand Out

A strong online presence significantly enhances job prospects, as recruiters value tangible evidence of your skills over mere claims in a resume. Having accessible projects, such as a personal website, a blog post, or a side project, places applicants ahead of the competition. It's essential to showcase projects in a presentable manner; simply linking to a default GitHub repository is insufficient. A brief explanation accompanying a project makes it easier for recruiters to assess your capabilities and is far more effective than expecting them to sift through code without context. Ultimately, demonstrating initiative and accessibility in showcasing one's work is crucial for attracting attention from potential employers.
