How to create projects for myself to enrich my resume?

Substack

High quality blog articles Writing blog articles is a great way to (1) solidify your understanding on a topic and (2) show readers and potential employers your understanding. Solidifying your understanding is really important for your personal development, and will prove useful when an interviewer quizzes you on hard technical concepts and you are able to impress them with your concise and comprehensive explanation. "Ok, you've convinced me - now how do I write a high quality blog article?" According to the diataxis documentation framework, there are several different kinds of documentation or blog article you can write. The one's I would recommend you focus on are: explanation articles, and how-to articles. Explanation articles, as its name suggests, explain a particular topic e.g. “What is Spark?”. Whereas how-to articles are focussed on documenting the steps to perform a specific task e.g. “How to dockerize your ETL project?”. See the diataxis framework for more detailed definitions and examples. Once you've written your articles, you can publish them on a blog site like substack or medium. Both of the above tasks takes effort. You may have to invest several weekends to get it to a quality you are happy with. Whilst not everyone who sees your resume or LinkedIn profile will go through your personal projects and blog articles in detail, but you will get a small portion of people that will see and recognize the effort you have put in, and those people will be the ones that would provide you with your first opportunity. I hope this helps, and good luck!
