Criteria for picking job portfolio projects

Employers often have higher value for pojects that are:

  • Individual
  • Custom
  • Novel
  • Contemporary
  • Domain-specific
  • Applied
  • High impact business value
  • End-to-end

Lower value projects are the inverse:

  • Group
  • Generic
  • Templated
  • Outdated technologies
  • Rehash of common examples
  • Academic
  • Research-oriented

A concrete example of a high value project is predicting the likelihood of customer churn for a specific company based on social media posts using language transformer models.
