Front End Developer Portfolio that got me Hired

Hey Guys, I wanted to share with you my junior front end developer portfolio. I know its hard in the beginning, but If you follow my advice which is bui,ding projects based on already existing websites, like Apple, Tesla or Netflix you will get a job very soon. Use boostrap for a grid layout and implement scss and little bit of Javascript(does not need to be crazy). Once you have a few projects ready start applying and learn React in the meantime. Good Luck!

Use this tutorial for Gatsby portfolio template.

I’m getting the sense that it’s often a lot to do with where you apply. There’s companies that want to see potential and a good attitude. There’s others that expect you to be Mark Zuckerberg 🤷🏾‍♂️

I literally subscribed because its a very simple video with no clout bs to take up time. You explained, what you did, what worked and didn't and moved on to the next thing. I hope you keep your content like this!

Very encouraging to hear there are companies that exist that actually give realistic junior level challenges to prospective junior devs

Thank you so much for sharing! Not many people here share their actual portfolio when applying and actually talk about the thoughts of the interviewer for the projects they made.

Surprised that you got a job with those projects. Definitely not underestimating the work, well done but these kind of projects usually make people think that you may have just followed a tutorial as they are very common as mentioned in the video.
In my case, I had 2 nice full stack projects along with some front-end ones and I still had hard time to land my first job.
Good luck everyone who is trying and putting in efforts in web dev.

Wow, it's impressive that you were able to use Bootstrap primarily on all your projects to get a job! That really shows the power of Bootstrap. I always thought to do anything custom with Bootstrap, you have to figure out how to customize their SASS maps and use their SASS functions. There's a lot to look at when you read into their SASS code, so it seems easier just to write your own SASS than customize theirs to fit your needs, but maybe it's a good learning experience to see how Bootstrap architected their CSS.

Well done, thank you so much, most people don't share the reality with us.

The style and layout is nice but these all look mainly HTML and CSS with minimal react or javascript apart from the toDo app, but if you could get hired with simple projects like this then that gives me hope! Maybe the projectes I've already built are good enough or I am trying to build way too complicated projects then what is necessary for a juniour position!
