Projects

Illustrate your initiative and technical prowess.

Projects carry significant weight pre-internship; their importance diminishes post-internship.

Good projects are impactful projects. Impactful projects are those with measurable metrics that demonstrate strong performance. For instance, contributing to an open-source project with thousands of GitHub stars, generating revenue from your project, or creating a technically complex piece of software that garners interest from experienced engineers can greatly enhance your profile.

Selecting Projects​

Align project choices with personal goals and interests to stay motivated and effectively showcase skills.

  • Tackle real-world problems
  • Draw inspiration from existing products or services
  • Explore online resources for innovative ideas
  • Engage in hackathons or collaborative efforts for diverse experiences

Importance on Your Resume​

Projects often serve as resume fillers when you lack experience.

However, exceptional projects can sometimes outweigh experience, although this is rare for most individuals.
