Junior frontend: is it necessary to create a project for a resume and portfolio?
It would seem that no one would dispute the statement that having a portfolio of one or more projects on GitHub is a beneficial addition to any resume. But now you will get acquainted with an alternative point of view. According to Rambler developer Antonina Listopadova, a beginner does not have to do a project at all, but for middle and seniors it’s just the opposite: a portfolio of several applications or sites wouldn’t hurt at all. The girl argues her position by saying that the junior does not yet have sufficient skills for his code to somehow surprise the employer. It is much more important to correctly answer the questions posed during the interview. Antonina also cites several more interesting facts in favor of her point of view.
