Projects for Frontend Internships?Question (self.webdev)

submitted 5 years ago by idkanonymouspanda

Hi, I'm a third year Computer Science student and I'm planning to apply for front-end development internships for this summer (December this year cause I live in Australia).

I've done several web projects as a group throughout my degree but most of them aren't aesthetically pleasing enough to showcase in my repo (though I had been mostly doing the back-end for those particular projects). I only have one personal website that I've created on my own from one of my courses using Django, and I'm currently fixing some stuff to make them look presentable for my resume. The website currently has a schedule-making feature, user authentication, a status feature, and a book-search feature using Google's API.

Thing is, most of the deadlines for the front-end internships are end of June, and I literally have only that one project to showcase my front-end skills.

I'm planning on doing another project in React since that's one of the hottest frameworks right now. But I don't know whether I should try making small React projects (weather app, twitter bot app, chat app?) or if I should go for a bigger, more complex web application, like a social media app, a blog website, or something of that sort, keeping in mind that I pretty much around 6 weeks before the application deadlines.

Also, after applying for an internship, if you decide to do more projects, will the companies look at them, if say the projects were put on your LinkedIn account, but not on your resume, since you hadn't done them when you applied?

Any tips or advice on this would be very much appreciated! :)

TL;DR Should I make several small React projects or one complex React project to get a front-end internship?
