I see this mistake all the time when people try to break into cybersecurity.
They say they “know Python” or “understand Linux”… but have nothing to prove it.
No projects.
No code.
No proof.
And hiring managers don’t trust claims… they trust evidence.
That’s where GitHub changes everything.
I use GitHub to SHOW what I can do, not just say it.
Even 2–3 simple scripts that solve real problems can separate me from 90% of applicants.
It’s not about perfect code… it’s about proof of work.
Most people skip this step… and that’s exactly why they stay stuck.
Comment "GITHUB" and I’ll DM you my GitHub starter guide.
