Nobody asked me such questions during my junior processes. Last time I had to develop a project ( take home assignment) and after investing quite a lot of time I did not even get feedback on my project, they just said other projects were better. So no place for improvement there. I have the feeling companies at these early stages just feel they can take time from you but give nothing in exchange during selection processes and I think this needs to change and interviews should be more like this one, a nice conversation with useful feedback.
For "assignments" like that we should ask if we can publish the code under our open-source profile. I just read this advice from another thread. That way we'll still gain some value even after rejection. If won't give permission, they most likely are making us do unpaid labor. Just sharing for others that might see this thread.
@ruthstorm8905 absolutely right brother i also started applying for the internship they just give the assignment and trust me they were not even beginners level🙄🙄 but still I completed them and submitted and didn't even get a single feedback had submitted like 4-5 haven't heard from the recruiters and not even got the feedback of my assignment honestly speaking teck is becoming dead now that's all I can say everyone now wants a experience candidate nowbody wants to hire a fresher 🙏🙏. Stay alert brother and sister
Ahh!! That was so great to watch. I want to have a technical interview like this. I really appreciated seeing this and knowing that talking through the process and also talking with the interviewer can really serve you well in this situation. I always imagined this portion to be in complete silence except maybe for the steady drip of my sweat on the keyboard 😂 Great job Silvia, and congratulations!
Drip drip 💧 That is too funny 🤣 Glad it was helpful to you! Who knows? If we do another in the future, maybe you can be in it! We'll probably send out a form on the @Scrimba Discord
As a non English native speakers, I was impressed by her confidence during the process. This is a ideal interview. As a person who preparing for interviews as a frontend engineers, I have a fear of rejection from interviews. What if I do something wrong or not find a best solution of a question I get. I couldn't get rid of this kind of thought but this video gave me a motivation. Basically, we should help each other. It was a good opportunity to learn technical skills for the intervieww and it was also a good opportunity to learn how to give advice to colleagues and lead for the interviewer. Thank you for the great video. I learned a lot from the video. :)
@@lateefmushtaq6059 I tell you that it's absolutely normal to fell nervous about upcoming interview. Especially when this is your first time. Just keep going each time you gain more confidence, because you know what to expect on interview. I have my first interview in 2 days and I'm worrying I won't get the job, but if don't I always can try another interview
Totally agree, i am looking for an ínternship, interviews scare me but seeing this, it motivates me because i think i can perform quite good. Tomorrow is my first interview of programming of my life
Impressed! Good Job! I did 2 interviews once, in a white board I failed miserably , the 2nd one I passed HR rounds and project manager but when i did last interview with Techlead interviewer asking about recursion and fibonnacci he put a nail in my coffin! I felt like an ant squashed by a bulldozer. 😢😢😢
@@bookercodes interviews that I passed, they asked me about the core javascript and some styling and tools I use every day, then they asked me to deliver some tasks and then they ask me about every line of code and why I did this and that and then I get asked about the framework and why I use react or vue amongst others choices, and yea my first junior job they asked me to solve a coding question too
@@RaefetOuafiqo Sounds interesting. May I ask how that application went for the junior poisition? What was aboutz the coding question? Thanks for sharing!
@@catarctic yes for a junior position, the coding questions were not related to data structure or dynamic programming they were just easy questions similar to fizz buzz, they make sure that you are able to write some code on your own and see your thinking process
I am a self taught dev and my problem is that, I’m too hard on myself and telling myself I’m not good enough. I have only learn JavaScript a lil bit and never did react and I could follow this video. Even I was there figuring out what she needed to especially when she was styling her components. I just need to stop thinking I need to learn more and just start applying. What I have learned from this video is that you can take your time, it’s best to know the core of what your coding before googling, and if something doesn’t feel or look right say something. In a interview they want to see you code but more so they want to see your thought process
I’m learning code to be a web developer, I’m no English native speaker so when I think about an interview It scares me a lot, thanks for helping me to be prepared for it (Sorry if I made any mistakes writing, I'm still learning English and I tried to do it without translator) 😄
This was really insightful, I've been using React frameworks for so long I got slightly thrown off by the use of pure JS...but honestly so much more confident in my skills now
This is the first time I watched a junior dev interview, and I found that too easy and great to watch. So now I know how the interview would be! Thank you guys!
I don't think this is for junior position, it's more for trainee imo, a junior would require to fetch the data either with an effect or with an external library to start with
I can already create Vue applications, understand CSS, Tailwind, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C#. I grasp concepts like RESTful APIs, API consumption, parameters, and database operations. Despite this, I still feel like I lack knowledge. Watching this video has made me more confident in applying for my first job
Congrats! I heard live coding is pretty rare for jr role. Mostly trivia to make sure you understand basic concepts. First interview in a few weeks 😶😶😶😶
Using the index to render only 6 cards was brilliant. I would have definitely given some thought to that more or probably would have to google it to find the slice method. 😅
I haven’t used react yet, but. I feel confident I can do this with some novice previous experience w html,css,Js, and python. Thanks for this confidence boost!
Wow watching this gave me a little motivation. As of right now, I am 25 years old and learning web development. I am lucky to have an older brother who has 8 years of experience but right now I am learning on my own and feels a little hard, especially feeling like I can't stay focused when it comes to studying but I will try harder especially after watching this seeing someone who is new to it but have taken the time to learn more. Is there any advice you can give me to stay focused and try to understand coding much better so far I learned HTML, CSS, and BOOTSTRAP! but now I am JavaScript and JavaScript feels like the hardest. Right now I'm trying but not hard enough but will and I have a son to take care of so I need a job soon but want to make sure I can maintain one.
Only advice I can give u : stop tutorials and do more practice, if you struggle to understand any concept google it or watch some videos about it, learning by doing is the best thing
Wow, I’m 20 years old and I’m learning web development too and I want to make it easier for my little brother too, so that is a good motivation for me. Hope you accomplished what you set out to accomplish my man!
This interview gave me such a powerful confidence, I’ve been studying html, css and JavaScript for 2 weeks and I kinda know how to put together that exercise. I wonder why she didn’t use html and css first? I was thinking cats name race * years that Latin paragraph lol Copy and paste 5 times and then style in css? I’m studying JavaScript now so I wouldn’t know how to give it function 😅
@@xXRsownage got the remote internship as a frontend developer in the US based startup. I am gonna start as a full time full-stack developer starting next month.
I hope she gets a good job to start her career and keep improving. I would like to know how did her portfolio and resume looked since she is new to the career path
Wait so is this how a front end development interview typically looks like content wise? Like the technical part? Gathering data then making a website? If it’s not as bad as I imagined!
This video was fun but mileage may vary depending on current economics of your country and just how many devs are needed on the market. In my country interviews are way harder, including questions about useState, redux etc. On top of that you are pretty much required to use a framework like bootstrap or material ui. And this is pretty much for intern position. I heard from recruiters that there are sometimes 700 resumes send for a single junior position. Huge competition. On one occasion on frontend internship I was required to build a simple backend as well so I had to learn nodejs and express and combine it with mongodb on the go as I was doing frontend as well. I feel like right know absolute bare minimum requirement is a knowledge level that would make it possible for you to build an online store (e-commerce) with cart useState and use data from some API to show that you can use axios or other library to access backend. I was told that with my knowledge level about one year ago I could find a job but one year later the bar is set much higher and less and less juniors are needed. It always feel like I'm one step behind 😔
Unfortunately, that wont fly to get you hired. This test was very basic, normally companies will require some absur thing that takes a minimum of 2 hours and then request you to do a tech interview that will be more like a police interrogatory. Thats how the industry works nowdays... I've been in 10 inteviews this year already..
Ye, I had to create a vanillia javascript application that was gonna sort a bunch of data that had a structure much different from normal JSON. Hadn't done it before, spent the entire day to find a good solution and didn't get the job XD
How realistic are interviews like this for junior roles? Im self taught and about to start applying. I would feel super ready if they are like this lol, but I've heard horror stories of whoever is interviewing giving them a task that is wayyy beyond junior level.
I finished a paid 6 months web dev course and one of my colleague applied for a job and got a junior interview....he got some questions and troubles to solve we didn`t even hear about it
It's not realistic at all. Most coding interviews are data structures and algorithms, bascially stuff you'll never do on the job. And if you're lucky they'll give you a take home project that's more align with what you'll be doing on the job, but the job won't be as simple as creating card components.
Is that how real interviews work Omg i was solving many problems on CodeWars and learning more advanced subjects about Js and currently learning React and still thinking this is not enough 😑😑. Any one feels the same
I agree with the commentor who said this was not good. I would have easily completed the rendering part in less than 5 minutes, no questions asked. As for the css, grid was the obvious choice, and she was wrong about flex always displaying three per row. She said she spends a lot of time thinking of variable and class names... yikes! She should have stuck with the interviewers suggestion for passing down the props. It's less code and reduces redundancy. This interview gets a 2/10.
This is… hmm. I don’t know. It seems like the only way an interviewer would put someone thru this is if they don’t really want to hire them. I’m studying to become a junior at the moment, and I look at entry level jobs as a place to learn. There are way too many scenarios that coders haven’t experienced to just throw random problems at them. But that’s just my opinion. I guess I will learn basic coding interview problems.
