How to Build a Tech Portfolio That Gets Recruiters to Call You

Lucas and Luna discuss the power of a curated 'tech portfolio' — a public collection of code, design docs, and blog posts that demonstrates engineering skill beyond the resume. Inspired by a Google recruiter who said 70% of hiring managers check portfolios before scheduling interviews, the hosts walk through how to choose projects, write READMEs that tell a story, and host work on a personal site or GitHub. Lucas shares why one well-documented side project can signal more than a degree from a top school, and Luna breaks down the single most common mistake engineers make with their online presence. The episode includes practical tips for organizing repos, writing clear documentation, and using your portfolio to reframe career gaps or pivots. No more submitting resumes into black holes — this episode shows how to make your work visible. #TechPortfolio #EngineeringCareer #SideProjects #GitHub #FAANGPrep #ResumeTips #CodingInterview #TechCareerStrategy #PortfolioBuilding #OpenSource #PersonalBranding #RecruiterTips #TechJobSearch #CareerPivot #EngineeringBlog #Documentation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
