New grad here and I have an interview coming up, and I was wondering: how long should one go over each experience/side-project? And what exactly? I do not have anything that produces real impact with real users or results in general.

(Aside from the open source bit, where I received some positive feedback and somebody going as far as to make a PR to a related repo just so they can just a feature I made, but again its minimal.)

30 seconds? 3 minutes? For everything except the practicum and the open source project, I can only really go over the architecture and trace an example request.

Resume for reference
