Show the work for a technology role
Edwuma Team
A degree gets you read. A small, finished project in the stack the listing names is what gets you a conversation.
Technology listings in Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, and Johannesburg often ask for a familiar stack and then never see a sample of it. If you have done the work, put it where a recruiter can open it in one click.
One project is enough
Pick a piece of work that uses the language or tool in the listing. Write four lines: the problem, what you built, what you decided, and what changed. Link the repo, a screenshot, or a short demo. A private repo the reviewer cannot open does not count.
- Match the listing. A mobile sample will not carry a data role.
- Remove half-finished tutorials from the profile you send.
- If the work was for an employer, describe your part without pasting their private data.
If you are early in your career, a finished personal project beats a long list of courses. Say what you would improve if you had another week. That sentence is often the start of the interview.
