    For “first” applications (straight out of University etc) this is helpful. For candidates currently in a role I wouldn’t expect this, and it can be actively risky - businesses generally expect their code bases to be kept confidential. I would expect you to be able to talk generally about your current role / projects though.

    I don't know a lot of people who have time to contribute to github repositories in a major way, hold a job and live a life outside of coding... There are only so many hours in a day.

  • Every IT Pro should have his own website. That should be your first portfolio item.
