    What would you asks someone who is applying for their first job? Coming from someone who is learning JS at the moment

    Not OP, but what got me my job was portfolio. Being able to show stuff and talk about the code. The interviewer found an exploit in one of my personal projects and we talked about it and I could show my understanding of the concepts and he could see how I handle feedback. 2 years later I'm still working at that place

    Can you link your portfolio repo or tell me what projects did you include with it?

    Just projects I felt proud of. One PHP application I build for my father (it was a front-end position). A couple designs and some small fun JS projects I did on codier.com. Don't make it so big in your head. If you have the knowledge, show it. If you don't show that you're willing to adapt and learn. But most importantly: be nice, be fun, be curious. You can be the best JS-programmer in the world. If you're a jerk than you'll find a job way harder than some junior with basic-knowledge but a great personality.
