For the past year and so many months, I’ve been in a front-end web developer boot camp. It’s self-paced, and for the concepts I know, I feel as though I have a decent grasp on how to use them. Still, based on my failed freelancing attempt and the job requirements I see listed often, it seems like it’ll be a long time until I can get a job.

What I currently know is HTML, CSS, JS. I know some basic git and node. I’m currently learning React and Typescript. I am very certain that this is not enough to land a job, and I would like to know any skills I should know by this point.

When I do have the skills, what is the best way to apply to jobs, and what should I know when applying?

    This is incredibly helpful and gives me something to aim for. Some of what you’ve mentioned reminds me of the book “Never Split the Difference.” Are there any resources or tips you’ve found helpful in encouraging teamwork or cohesion within a team? Or was most of the learning on the job and mostly gained through experience?
