It is difficult to write a strong referral for someone you do not know.

  Bachelor + master 2 years of software engineering experience 2 years of teaching experience Education: Bachelor information science Bachelor psychology Master game studies Research master computer science (and tons of failed studies, extracurricular courses, student boards and jobs) Notable fun achievements: Graduated from first bachelor within 2 years. Published my homework as a paper to a conference and it got accepted (with a lot of help from my teacher, this was no solo effort). Hobbies: Music (I think about it obsessively since I was 4, not great in making it though, I do beatbox okay-ish) Mindfulness (not meditating, simply applying it) Reading Hacker News (this is a legit hobby :P) Hanging out with friends and talking about all kinds of things I used to be the kind of person to want to know everything about the world and that's also how I studied. I gave up on that recently though. --- Now you know me a bit better, albeit on paper, it's something ;-)

    There are questions in a form that I'd fill out like: how well I know this person, how well I know their work, etc. For you, I would need to answer "don't know" for all of these. Having a strong github would go a long way in making it possible to answer one of those with with something other than don't know. Basically you need something more tangible than a resume for a stranger to go out on a limb for you.
