Seriously spend 2 hrs creating a simple program on github. use a timeless language like Java or C++. Then you can tick the I have a github box and that'll sort you for a few years.
Prior to interview push a bunch of commits backdated over the last 6 months.

- bbcbasic 10y agoIt's not a lie per se as you wouldn't make any claims in the cv etc. about how often you work on the project. Just here is my github url: xyz I don't need to do this myself as I often have commits from tinkering and being a perfectionist. But for the time strapped it could be useful. Remember it's about impressions. You could do 1 min a day with commit for 60 days and that'll look better on github than a single.one hour session. Even if the code commited is ultimately the same
- morganvachon 10y agoI guess I'm predisposed to be against such...how to put it nicely..."enhanced truths". The organization I work for considers honesty to be the most important aspect in an employee; you can be the very best at what you do but if you lie for any reason you're out the door. It's far better to be honest right out of the gate, even if you think it reveals a flaw or deficiency, rather than found to be a liar in the future just because you wanted to look better for your interview.
