Video Description:
Are your personal projects failing to get you hired? In this video, I break down the common mistakes aspiring developers make with their projects and why they aren't standing out to employers. Many think that just building a variety of projects is enough, but the scattershot approach often misses the mark. Iāll guide you through a more strategic way to approach personal projects that will resonate with hiring managers.
Weāll dive into the importance of targeting your projects towards the industry you care about, building meaningful and professional-looking projects, and understanding the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) concept to know when a project is truly "done." I'll also discuss how unfinished projects on your GitHub can send the wrong signals about your commitment and consistency.
Throughout the video, I encourage you to think beyond just coding for the sake of it. You need to create something that solves real problems, adds value, and even gains users. I'll share tips on showcasing your projects effectively to signal your potential as a valuable developer who can contribute real results.
If you're tired of your personal projects feeling like wasted efforts, watch this video to learn how to build projects that actually catch the eye of employers. Don't just buildābuild with purpose, build with strategy, and start turning your ideas into assets that move your career forward.
