4) Projects & Proof of Skill

GitHub hygiene (readmes, demos, commit quality)

If you are in a technical field, your GitHub is often more important than your resume. A project without a README file is like a book without a cover. Your README should explain: 1) What is this? 2) Why did I build it? 3) How do you run it? Use clear commit messages like 'Fixed login bug' instead of 'update1' or 'final final.'

You are already doing work for your classes. Don't let that work die in a folder on your laptop!

Most class projects are "ugly." They are just code or a raw document. To make it an "asset," you need to add a "Presentation Layer."
Take that class assignment, clean up the notes, add a "Lessons Learned" section, and give it a clear title. If it was a group project, explain exactly which part you built. This turns a boring assignment into a professional story.
