  • awesome-github-profile-readme

    😎 A curated list of awesome GitHub Profile READMEs 📝

  • Github portfolio just means you update your readme page on Github (like https://github.com/abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme), which i could see as useful for providing information on your previous work on Github. it doesn't take long to do (you're just editing a markdown file). i don't have my first job yet, so i have to make a portfolio which demonstrates that yes i can build a website and do basic web dev stuff. with your experience, i doubt they're going to look for a portfolio for you. im rooting for anyone who wants to "compete with the younger folk". im 28 but i have no professional webdev experience (I have degrees in neuroscience and an MD, don't ask). i don't like kids getting the better of me, so I'm all for learning new things. my best guess is these technical questions you're having trouble with might be either really advanced senior level stuff in the role you're looking at or the algorithm based questions like LeetCode or HackerRank. If you haven't done a technical interview in decades, my guess is the nature of interviews might not be the same as you remember. definitely tons of youtube videos and websites to help prepare for those though.
