Frontend Coding Interview
First Stage/Informal Interviews
- Stop before answering questions, to make sure you know what to say.
- If you have an online interview, can be helpful to have notes open on your computer.
- How to work with non technical people is worth thinking about.
Techical Interviews
- Improve your overall coding skill, it’s all about problem solving and how you break a problem down.
- Don’t use AI to write your code, maybe as a teacher, but not just to spit out everything.
- Work on debugging without AI, using console.log() and tests.
- Code more!
- Unusual to use Typescript in junior dev interview, can focus on js. You can also look at how to manipulate HTML using JS.
- In the Testing IDE, you should use tests to help you code step by step, as well as the instructions. Focus on meeting one test at a time.
You can find some sites that I use to prepare for technical interviews below.
Testdome - This site is used by hiring teams and has plenty of practice questions. Focussed on running tests and solving issues. This is a great place to start for all kinds of technical tests - whether frontend or backednd.
Some Leetcode style sample tests for frontend (mostly React):
- Clientside dev
- Great Frontend
- Big Frontend
- React Practice
- I code this
- Decode Frontend
- example interview
JavaScript and Typescript exercises (more similar to traditional Leetcode style test):
