On my Linkedin (and also resume etc.) I give a link to my blog / github. Every time I've been asked about it in an interview setting, it was actually when I was the one conducting the interview, and the interviewee was trying to impress. Much as it pains me to say, I don't think side projects are a good way to bolster your CV, at least in my field.

- wccrawford 9y agoI've only asked questions about Github projects when they have something on there wasn't obviously from schooling or just garbage they threw on there to keep for later. I'm pretty certain we're in a different industry, but I'm still surprised nobody has asked about your Github stuff, assuming you've put decent things on there.
- cookiecaper 9y agoDoesn't surprise me, but if you're handing it out, you should still be prepared to answer questions about the stuff that's on there.
