After interviewing a lot of junior frontend dev& #39;s this year, here are some interview tips for #CodeNewbie& #39;s (Note: this is just one take on it, different companies work differently) #100DaysOfCode #freeCodeCamp

1) I couldn& #39;t care less if you learned to code at university, a boot camp, or sitting in a basement with your laptop. Knowing your stuff is the main thing.
2) Have a basic level of understanding of your chosen tech. E.g for frontend:
- HTML/CSS
- JavaScript/ES6 (variables, functions, arrays & higher order functions, objects, modules etc)
- A framework e.g React (state, props, function components, applying styles, rerendering etc)

3) Having a GitHub/Portfolio helps. Bring this up in the interview if not asked. Be prepared to answer questions on how/why you did things a certain way. Not all interviewers will look in-depth at your GitHub due to time etc
4) The coding test isn& #39;t designed to trip you up. Its to gauge how you think. Write down the steps you& #39;d take, components you& #39;d need, and the tests you& #39;d need BEFORE writing any code. If you don& #39;t complete the test that& #39;s fine be able to talk through your answer. Ask questions
5) Passion/willingness to learn is good but companies are looking for someone who can fill a gap they have. Be confident and show them you CAN do the job
6) If you don& #39;t know something, say "I don& #39;t know". No one wants to listen to a candidate struggle through an answer. Being able to do this is a very strong trait to have
7) Be yourself. Don& #39;t use big fancy terms for the sake of it. Be confident but not cocky. If a candidates an ass, its an instant red X through the application regardless of how good they think they are
