Front End Interview Bootcamp
Hey there 👋, I'm Drew... a guy who has been through a lot of interviews for Front End Developer positions - both as a candidate and a hiring manager.
This video series covers everything I know about Front End developer interviews. I've built this course using what I've learned in going through the Front End interview process at many companies - from small startups to the big tech companies. I've also conducted a bunch of interviews as the interviewer for many Front End positions throughout my career. The videos outline the most common topics and concepts that I've seen in my career, and identify the skills you should brush up on to tackle your next coding interview.
The series starts with a few videos about common interview process and settings, then an overview of high level common technical skills that tend to come up in technical interviews. These are the technical topics to brush up on. After that, we have 10 real world practice interview prompts - coding challenges you may encounter in a real interview. There's a CodePen link for each challenge, so you can take a stab at it in a real coding environment.
Interviews are tricky to practice for because the possibilities of potential topics are endless. It's frustrating! If you have a solid grasp of the concepts in these practice videos, I promise you will be in good shape to tackle your next interview opportunity!
FAQs
Who is this series for?
This is created for anybody preparing to enter the Front End job market, whether you are pursuing your first developer job or getting back in the interview cycle and wanting to brush off your interview chops.
The content is aimed at intermediate to advanced Front End developers, but beginners are welcome and encouraged to dive in.
What kind of content is included?
✅ Technical Skills that come up over and over again
✅ An outline of what to expect from most interview processes
✅ Behavioral tips for nailing the "non technical" questions
✅ 10 real world interview coding challenges with tips for each one (with live coding environment links)
✅ Advice for handling rejections when the sessions don't go so well. Trust me, it happens to everybody!
Do the interview prompts come with accepted answers?
🚨 No - they do not. Please don't buy this course if you are looking for ready-to-go answers.
The prompts included in the series are intentionally pretty broad and open. These aren't questions like "What is the difference between call and apply in JavaScript?" where an answer can be right or wrong. These are more general, like "Please build a mini app that does X Y and Z." There are a zillion ways you could take it.
The point here is to embrace the process of being a solution creator - not having a solution in your back pocket up front. It's highly unlikely you'd receive these exact questions anyway. It's all about the skills of being ready for anything that comes up in an interview.
Don't worry, though - I do provide feedback on your solutions via email. So please feel free to send me your solutions any time and I'll happily send you feedback.
Can I send you my interview solutions for feedback?
Yes! Contact information is included for getting feedback on your solutions to the interview prompts.
Will this course help me get an interview?
Unfortunately, not really. This is about how to handle the actual interview process once you have applied. Usually these are scheduled after applying and receiving a response from the employer. Similar to the feedback though, feel free to send me your resume and I'll take a look.
