One trap I've fallen into in the past doing this is trying to make the "perfect" github. It could easily become a full time job - you really need a few goals you want to meet and to reassess them regularly
That's excellent advice - I did some soul searching after reading this and wrote down some concrete goals I want to accomplish before applying for the position I have in mind.
Thank you, yarper.
Best of luck to you, concrete goals are a great start.
