- Team projects conducted through government subsidies or bootcamps are a great opportunity to demonstrate your skills when applying for jobs, and it is effective to create portfolios by developing sites commonly used in companies or cloning famous web services.
- However, too unique ideas can make it difficult for interviewers to understand, so it is important to create results that appeal to companies using solutions in the field or SI companies.
- In particular, developing clones of services specific to a particular BM such as delivery apps or open markets can be used as a differentiated portfolio when applying to companies in that domain.
Non-majors, Surviving as Developers
#9. Websites Good for Making Portfolios
When studying through government-funded programs or bootcamps, you will usually go through about 12 team projects. You gather about 35 people and work on projects in teams, which is a good opportunity to experience everything from planning to design, implementation, and testing. It's also a great tool to show off your skills when applying for jobs.
However, you often find yourself stuck at the planning stage of deciding what to build, and sometimes you plan and build services that are uncommon or unique in the market. However, be careful as too unique ideas can actually be a negative for employment. The people evaluating your resume are usually current employees, so it's important to create something they would like from a professional perspective. Therefore, it is more effective to choose a topic that fits the company you want to work for (service, SI, general company IT team, solution).
So, what kind of topic should you choose?
1. Sites Commonly Used in Companies
The sites and services we typically use at work are usually supplied by solution companies or built through SI companies. Therefore, you can appeal to these companies through experience with sites that are widely used. Commonly used programs include groupware, ERP, internal HR systems, etc., so you can plan and develop a service that many companies would use.
2. Famous Web Service Clones
If you're aiming for a service company, creating a clone of a famous web service is also a good way to go. It's better to create delivery apps, open markets, etc., that are specific to a particular BM than SNS. You don't need to analyze all the features. After choosing a service to benchmark, create a feature analysis table that you can understand from a user's perspective and implement the features as closely as possible based on this analysis. Through this experience, you can play a distinctive role in your portfolio when applying to companies that provide similar domain services.
3. Avoid Too Unique Ideas
Teams usually composed of young students sometimes come up with unique ideas and create them. It's fine if you're building it for a startup, but the interviewer who will evaluate your portfolio is not a young generation, so it's best to be cautious of ideas that the interviewer may not understand.
