Since interview season is coming up for 3rd year folks in college, I'll share a few tips to shine🌟above with your resume + profile and get more interviews -🧵

You better retweet tf out of this for other college kiddos or I'm done putting efforts in my tweets 🔫

- Make. An. Impressive. GitHub. Profile.

No that does not mean having pointless grade lists on your Readme, your projects should be the highlight.

Since you only have a few seconds to grab their attention, don't waste them on meaningless statistics like number of commits or LOC

There's enough content out there to tell you why you should be active on GitHub but the base reason is it shows you CAN code and demonstrates that you can work with others.

Plus showing that you know VCS is a good basic skill to flex on recruiters.

- Have a couple of big projects

You might be tempted (or desperate) to put your college projects but they generally lack the complexity or the crucial components that make a project interesting.

Your aim should be to put together a bunch of technologies that work in harmony

and at the same time show your interpersonal skills like, did you build it with a team of random internet strangers? How did you collaborate without friction and all that jazz.

So two things, complexity and how much did you learn other than tech. If it's creative, bonus points
