Title. I have my CCST (yes, I should’ve gotten the CCNA, working on it. My school paid for the voucher) and CompTIA A+.

I’m trying to make a presentable resume for networking internships but I’m hearing conflicting advice about whether I should have a github portfolio or not.

I host a web server that links to a blog. Some things on that blog include GNS3 labs, packet tracer activities I’ve created, Bash scripts for simple Linux admin tasks etc. I just have a link to this static website. Why would recruiters open up my github and care about my packet tracer files or daily cron job script for RAID backups?

I’m not interested in programming outside of network automation. I’ve used netmiko before with GNS3 and it’s incredible, but I don’t see why (or how) I would put those netmiko scripts on github.

    I don’t see a need for that in your field.

    Posting scripts that work for your personal setup is actually something I would consider a security risk as it’s giving details about your concrete infrastructure and configurations away.
