It can be tough to think of things to add, especially when you’re first starting out in the tech industry and all your previous experience seems unrelated.

If you’re not sure where to start, you’re in luck. Listed below are 27 things you can add on your portfolio or online resume—even if you don’t have a ton of experience yet.
