When you read an average job description you will find that anyone is looking for “working experience” in something. No matter if you studied, for example, Java for 5 years at university.
Nobody cares. They are just trying to find a prove that someone else validated your experience.
So this is the question: can I prove what the HR are asking for? Sometime yes, sometimes no.
For example, what if you are a master in Java but in your current company nobody uses it and there are no projects in Java?
So I came up with this idea: I can prove my skills by simply making something.
But what is this “something”? Actually, you may not have a good idea to develop a new product from scratch with the chosen language or framework.
No problem: just do something absolutely useless, the important thing is that you do it in the right way.
Here is my list of useless repositories:
Now create your repository and “make something useless”!
