github link on resume


Forum Post 3 Answers github link on resume

I'm wondering whether to link to my github account on my resume/CV

It's got half a dozen historical small projects I've done over the years, some complete, others not so. The oldest stuff dates back to 1994. There's one project in progress. My followers/starred/following counts are at 0.

Would an interviewer even bother to go and look at it?

I was thinking of putting something like:
github[link] includes: X86/SPARC interpreter, Android game, Python Kivy game, irc bot

Nope. Resume will get no more than a 30-60 second look by an interviewer, and that is if you are lucky!

It might help get past the HR screen, though, and help get scheduled for an interview (but I guess you are already past it).
