23,414 PointsCan you use CodePen to supplement your portfolio?
I don't have much of a portfolio. I have a few finished projects, and I'm working on a few projects at the moment. However, until those projects are complete, I feel like I shouldn't apply for jobs. Or at the very least, I should showcase other work - or mini-projects - a to-do list, for example.
I have built a few things using HTML, CSS, and JS, and I've uploaded them to CodePen - would that be enough to show an employer? I want to be a Front-End developer, and I thought that even though I don't have much in terms of completed websites, I can showcase my tech knowledge through these mini-projects which I've uploaded to CodePen.
Thanks

This will show the employer that you can work with html, css, js + you can push GitHub + you know the most basic git commands :-)
You can find material about git and GitHub here on treehouse (in case you don't know one or both of them) :-)
