In my experience they dont look at the knowledge you have but at how eager you are to learn. Having your own website shows that you are like programming. If you can show this in another way (like gamejams or open source projects) that is fine as well.
This is also what I look at when helping in the hiring process. -
@Codex404 thanks.
Im new to the whole developer job market, and some pets of it seem to be quite different to your average job application process.
Is it worth having a personal site/portfolio if you aren’t a freelancer?
I asked on LinkedIn and the response was that personal websites are a bit 90s.
I am, slowly, making a github pages site, and I know no one is really going to be interested in my thoughts on certain topics etc, but I felt it would be a bit more attractive than just a link to my github account.
Do employers care about portfolios/github accounts etc? Or are the only interested in CVs and certificates?
If it’s the latter how do you demonstrate your skills, especially if all of your work is proprietary?
