In job applications, and in interviews, I have been asked if I have a Github profile. I also know of people who have a project on Github that company's might like - if they are a React programmer, it might be a React project with modern best practices, maybe some common third-party libraries, testing etc. Kind of a work sample. When I signed on Github, I followed the old free software mantra of putting up any code someone might find useful, even if it was kludgey (as long as it was labeled so). This does not jibe with the concept of a model work sample though.
