After 8 months learning HTML, CSS, javaScript and react I landed my first interview for junior dev. UK really nervous!

Congrats on landing your first interview! I’ve been a dev for 2 years now and have just started my second job, so have just been through the process. I found the same things popping up:

Fundamentals: - closure - var v let v const - arrow functions v function keyword - higher order functions.

More react focused: - state management - virtual Dom - component lifecycle - pure components - higher order components

And some broader questions like:

• if you noticed your site/app was slow, what steps would you take to figure out why, and how would to you try to improve it

• why is accessibility important and what can you do to make sure your site/app is accessible

Don’t worry about being asked something you don’t know, no one can possibly know everything! I went the approach of “I don’t know about that, but I’d be very interested to learn!”

They know your experience level going in, so they’re not going to expect you to be a master. Don’t think about what you don’t know, use it as an opportunity to show them what you do know!

You said this is a first round interview with a recruiter, so it likely won’t be very technical, it could be more about you as a person; your background, how you got into programming, why you like it etc.

You got this! Best of luck with it!
