Quick reality check. Most frontend developers aren’t rejected because they lack talent. They’re rejected because they accidentally signal risk. What companies quietly screen for: - GitHub that shows real progression (not tutorial dumps) - Portfolios that look like real company work - Resumes that show impact, not long lists of tools - Strong fundamentals in layout, state, and communication What gets people rejected fast: - Generic projects - Messy GitHub profiles - Overstuffed resumes - Applying blindly with no tailoring These are strategy mistakes, not ability problems. We put together a clear breakdown of the 10 most common mistakes that get frontend developers rejected and what good actually looks like instead. If you want the document, 👉 DM me “REJECTED” and I’ll send it to you. Fixing the right things once beats guessing for months.
