GitHub
- GitHub is one of the most popular websites to build an online presence in the tech industry. It allows you to showcase your best projects, contribute to open source, and connect with developers all around the world. Having several projects on GitHub, which demonstrate your technical skills can improve your chances of landing a job interview. For example, if you list React or Gatsby on your resume, you may want to have a few projects on GitHub that showcase these skills. Creating a GitHub profile with several completed projects can be time consuming. And not everyone has the luxury of creating a comprehensive set of repositories. Your success doesn't depend upon having a GitHub profile. It's simply a nice to have, which can convince a recruiter that you will be a great fit for the role at hand.
