I am wondering if anyone who is a software developer looking for employment relies on github first and formost.



I will begin my job search soon and was wondering if employees value applications from github more than traditionally sources.



Does anyone think it is more successful than indeed or other job sites.

    that would depend entirely on the individual employer, those looking on github for workers would be interested. Plenty others never heard of github. I only have a vague idea of what github is.

  • If you happened to work on some existing free software project on github, that is a valuable work experience. If you just show your own code on github, it might be less interesting to others. But YMMV
