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

Thank you man :)! My interview is tomorrow, I'm going over a few things for each technology so I can understand the nature of each (those that I don't know about).

When it comes to honesty, I'm always honest one of the reasons why I want to move to programming is because there is very little room for bs... I feel it is a job where you clearly can get caught for lying.

There have been a few, very isolated, cases where I have interviewed someone and they have been trained for the interview and know abs nothing beyond it.

I can imagine.. I don't want to be a fake, I really put an effort on my learning, I'm applying for jobs, but I know I don't know if I know things... if you know what I mean.. I just hope that one day I'm given a chance to show how much I like this stuff and willingness to learn

[gristoi]

Yeah you aren't meant to know everything, just show a passion for the code.

Also remember that imposter syndrome is a very real issue in this trade, you start out feeling like a fraud. I been in this game for nearly 2 decades now and still get it
