So I'm gathering some code to submit to a place I'm trying to get a job at, and they want some examples of my work. I've done this before at other places, but I'm still not quite sure on what kind of samples I should give, and how much.
Some questions I've had:
- Should I give entire projects, or just a few classes from one?
- Is it ok that I give them group projects I was a part of (containing some code that isn't mine), and then explain what I did for the project?
- Will they actually try to run my code, or just look at the source? (that may be a stupid question, but I'm sure some stuff would have trouble compiling on their end... is that ok/expected?)
- I assume I should give a brief description, perhaps a paragraph long, talking what the example is and what it shows I can do. Anything else specific I should say about it?
This is for an entry level position, so I assume this is to just get a feel for my skills, and make sure I at least kinda know what I'm doing. Any tips on how I should do this would be great!
