Have a personal web site
I don&#x27;t judge a person&#x27;s technical skill through this metric (or at least I make an attempt not to), but it&#x27;s rather noticeable when someone has nothing going on online. A blank GitHub, no website, no projects, etc. For an employed person, eh, whatever, maybe they just have a life.<p>But for a student? I&#x27;ll admit I get a little suspicious. I&#x27;m not saying students should have a huge roster of projects and crazy extracurriculars. But something like a simple GitHub projects site or more than 50 commits in a year goes a long way to making yourself seem like an active, competent developer. I can count the number of people I&#x27;ve met with semi-active GitHubs at my school on one hand. That&#x27;s not exactly a vote of confidence for my school&#x27;s CS program.
