As someone who has hired a couple of people just like you in the past
year, here's my response. Others may have different standards.
Having links to sites you've developed is good.
Having links to a github account with public projects is great.
A resume with bad spelling, grammar, or obviously "fluffed up"
descriptions of your experience is a great way to get overlooked.
However, beyond any of those things, the one magical way to get my
attention is to indicate that you love what you do by showing that
you've done a lot of programming that you did NOT do for school or work.
I'd rather bring in someone for an interview with no CS degree who
stayed up half the night struggling with a personal project than someone
with a degree who doesn't seem to have done any coding for fun.
