Github Resume
- Resume: Open source and GitHub Do you have GitHub and/or open source contributions listed on your resume? Does the hiring teams at FAANG expect this or doesn’t matter because most of the interviewers don’t have time/care to research the candidate much? I’d assume most of the coding skills are evaluated during the on-site whitebo
- Leetcode/HackerRank on resume/github Is it a good idea to this or will managers look down on this?
- What's up wiith Github resume screening process? I have applied for a bunch of positions in the past 6 months which I believe I was a good fit and keep getting automated rejections within a couple of days or the very next morning. The problem is not the rejection part but their quick judgment with no proper evaluation of background & resume. They
- Do you have GitHub link on your resume I have some personal projects on my GitHub that I made in college. They are all spaghetti code and I’m kind of ashamed of them. Does it do more harm than good to have it on my resume? Should I take the link off my resume?
- vote Remove link to repos on GitHub from resume? My portfolio contains only a few personal projects written years ago, which is not "legit" open-source (in the sense of large-scale collaboration across hardcore OSS community). Have LC and "design Facebook in 15 minutes" questions taken over the candidate filtering process in 2019? I am currently
- Should I include commit history on github projects for my resume? Had a question for those experienced in the field/recruiters. I'm a current college student close to graduating and am working on creating a github that I can put on my resume. Wanted to ask the following questions: 1.) Should I include the commit history on the projects that are going to be visibl
- vote Is it acceptable to put MSFT on a resume if someone worked for a MSFT owned company? If someone works for Bethesda, LinkedIn, GitHub or soon Blizzard, would it be acceptable for them to put Microsoft on their resume and LinkedIn profile instead of the actual subsidiary?
- Google referral before onsite My recruiter is asking for a referral before scheduling the onsite for L3 SWE. Can anyone from G help? Thanks. Edit: I can provide resume, projects, GitHub link etc.
- vote Can I put microsoft on my resume if i work at their subsidiary? For example, if i work at github, can I put "Microsoft (Github)" on my resume? This is just an example. What if I work at an unknown small subsidiary acquired by FAANG. It will obviously improve my resume if I put the parent company name.
- Suggestions for building personal website Any ideas where to host my personal website? Ideally it would be like my extended resume / cv but only password protected. People always keep shamelessly stealing shit from my resume, linked profile, GitHub, code, etc 🤷♂️ fuck ‘em!
- Putting take home projects on Resume Hi guys Is it wise to put the take home projects on your resume? I mean you spent multiple hours and received no feedback. You can put the artifacts on github and github link on linkedin and resume. Should be ok if there was no NDA. YOE: 10 TC: 100k #faang #amazon #twitter #facebook #techcareer
- vote Who tf is cloning my repos??? I put things on my github because I'm job hunting, never really used it much before this. None of it is particularly interesting, but I wanted to put code that I wrote up, and I linked it from my resume.

- vote Importance of github projects for job hunt for someone w/ 3 yoe? My github is just full of junk from college days probably not even worth including on resume.

- Importance of personal github repo to hiring managers I'm curious what fellow data scientists and hiring managers think about the importance of github for data scientists with a couple years experience.

- vote Spend all time on Leetcode or build a decent Github? Are personal projects important once you got the interviews? Do interviewers take a look at your Github before the interview, could it bias them in a good way? Is it weird if you have no Github or portfolio/website on your resume? Or could this make you fail in HC or the team matching process (when

And instead of sending one generic resume to every compa

- Why do companies ask coding questions if the job description is not about solving coding questions For tech interviews, they usually ask coding questions after passing the resume and/or phone screen. If the actual day-to-day job, let’s say, is optimizing latency for api calls, why do companies ask coding questions? Why don’t they ask something more related? Anyone can write skills on resume. No
- Adding links to resume I want to add links to my LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack overflow profile, the link of certificate and the link for the certification program, etc. But the links are too lengthy.

It seems like everyone says project experience doesn’t matter, but then every time a resume review comes up, like everything interesting is in the project section because a lot of jobs really just aren’t that innovative. Is the project section just an HR buzzword machine at this point to get you to
