Why Most Junior Frontend Developers Don’t Get Interviews (Even When They’re Capable)
Hey everyone 👋Quick community share for today. @Harry Ashton just dropped a new YouTube video, and it hits on something we see all the time 👉 Most junior frontend developers are missing one critical thing in their job applications, even when they’re capable. This video isn’t about: - Learning more frameworks - Building more projects - Grinding harder It’s about what hiring managers are actually looking for when they review junior frontend applications and why so many good candidates get skipped. In the video, Harry breaks down: - The signal companies really look for (and why most portfolios miss it) - How to show your thinking, not just your tools - What makes someone feel “interview-ready” to a hiring manager - How to improve your applications without starting from scratch If you’ve ever thought: - “I know this stuff, but I’m not getting callbacks” - “I don’t know what I’m doing wrong” - “I feel capable, but invisible” This one is worth your time. 🎥 Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdtwgIQ3eZE After you watch, bring it back to the community: What part of the hiring process feels most unclear for you right now, portfolio, resume, or explaining your work? That conversation is where the real value is.
