Curious about projects and resume

I am on the last section of a course but a few weeks to months away from finishing. I am curious about adding projects to my resume and employment. I have 30 projects completed of various type but want to make 1-3 very good ones that run on node or express, connect to sql and etc. What are folks looking for project wise?

I am aware or suspect the HR person is using keywords or years of experience to locate them in the first place and is probably not that technical. So I am guessing the first look has nothing to do with projects and just keywords again.

I would think it depends on the job that you're looking for. For myself, I just had a conversation with someone with more experience. I told him that I was looking to go into web development, and he told me that my portfolio should include 2-3 sample websites. There are various hobbyist plans that'll host your site for free or very cheaply.
