Am I ready for a Junior Front End Developer role?

Finally I’d say a key project to complete is a visually-amazing website or web app—i.e., something with a design & UI that will impress the average person. Way more people care about design & UI than your code (particularly companies and recruiters), which is why you have to focus on that. Ideally make a few of these websites/web apps. You can “create” your own work experience by offering to re-design the website that someone else might have. For your first website, this might have to be for free, but no one will have to know that—as long as you’re creating websites that look good and gaining experience, that could be what gets you in the door somewhere.

This is what I mean. The designs don’t have to be over the top, but at least try and make the modern looking and clean.

is a perfect example of what I mean by this.
