Byte Size Breakdown: Building your Tech Portfolio
Caroline Karanja and Mase Santos discuss why you should build your tech portfolio as a new techie! This is perfect for those who have just graduated from a bootcamp, wrapping up the school year or finished their #100DaysOfCode and looking for the next step in their career.
Some tips to start:
Participate in tech events (like hackathons and #100DaysOfCode)
Pro bono work for real life projects (be selective about what work you do for free)
Internships and apprenticeships
Put your portfolio online - either your own website, LinkedIn, or GitHub
Watch for more advice and answers to these questions:
How do I find tech projects that aren’t connected to my current job?
How do I document my skills and accomplishment while making sure to not break NDA?
What if I haven't worked on any tech projects yet? Where can I start?
