So, I've passed all my exams at the university this year and I've tried to get an entry-level job. I've applied to a few computer firms in Osijek, but I got rejected. I suppose most of it has to do with my GitHub profile. What do you think, how can I make myself look better to the hirers?
I must say I am quite a bit surprised. I thought very few junior programmers could make a PacMan game, yet alone a program that converts arithmetic expression to assembly, and that getting an entry-level job won't be a problem.
As a very senior software developer who makes hiring recommendations....
If you're going to showcase your skills, it's best to showcase skills that a prospective employer would find useful. Whether or not many junior programmers can make a PacMan game, etc isn't very relevant, as it's very unlikely those particular skills are leveragable to their business. Make sure your CV / resume draws attention to the skills they're looking for.
I have in the past used headhunters to find work. That might be a good route to go when you lack relevant work experience.
