My concern is that they focus on this instead of the one document that makes it through ATS - a plaintext resume with the right words, phrases, and content in the right format. The proper foundations and knowledge. And the human referral.
The guidance out there for juniors is so ham handed and imprecise. Quantity of LinkedIn connections over quality. Portfolios over strong foundations and a properly targeted resume.
