Quick answer
Proof of work is visible evidence of what someone has actually done: real projects, writing, or results, kept in one place someone else can look at directly, rather than just described in a resume or bio.
A claim on a resume is easy to make and hard to verify. A real, visible example is harder to fake and easier for someone else to judge for themselves. See the dedicated guide on building proof of work online for how to start one.
