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 full-time SWE and wondering whether mediocre quality work should be left off to save space on 1-page, or if that is still too risky when trying to pass the recruiter resume screen bot. What's the best option for career advancement?
Just provide links to private repos and describe how awesome they are.
Many people actually do check your github repo if you put it in the resume. I had some interviewers who asked about my projects, and I also asked my candidate questions which are relevant to their projects. Recently I interviewed a candidate who put “vue js” project in his git profile. When he said he was not comfortable doing the coding exercise with vue, it raised a red flag for sure
I've done a small project in vue Js and without having vue Js docs handy (and a search engine) I wouldn't be that comfortable writing working vue code. Just because someone has written some code in a language/framework doesn't mean they've used it enough to be able to confidently whiteboard with it.
It is whiteboarding. Not writing a real, running code. I dont care about correct syntax. But not able to conjure anything definitely not showing familiarity with the framework. And fyi, the position is not for entry level. We need someone who is ready to work with current codebase, we even put it in the job desc. So someone with small project experience is unfortunately a no
Dude you work at Google. That's all you need on your resume to get to the interview stage.
I got my internship interview (and subsequent return offer) because of an open source project I had on my github. If you have legit projects, keep them.
Emphasis on internship. When that's all you have, of course you keep it. Otherwise use the space better
My AWS has hired 2 people because of their amazing github projects that relate to the work we’re doing. Absolutely keep them if they showcase cool/innovative stuff.
