As a junior web developer, it is tempting to think that building projects for yourself are the only way to land a job. However, in reality, this is not the case. Projects can be an important factor in helping you stand out from other applicants, but they are by no means the most important factor when it comes to getting hired as a junior web developer.
Rather than focusing on building projects alone, you should also focus on developing other skills and traits that employers are looking for in a junior web developer. This includes having strong communication skills, attention to detail, and being organized. These skills can all be demonstrated in interviews or during the job application process and will be far more critical than any of the projects you have built.
When it comes down to it, the HR manager deciding on whom to hire has more than just your projects to consider. They need to make sure that you fit well with their company culture, values, and mission statement; something that cannot be determined simply by looking at your portfolio of projects.
It is also important to consider that each company has its own tooling, design system, and frameworks. It is possible to learn by building projects on the side, like creating an app with React and Tailwind CSS, but it doesn’t guarantee that you will be working with that same technology at your job.
The takeaway here is that while building projects can help you learn and gain experience, it isn’t required for getting a job as a junior web developer. The most important skills are understanding the basics of coding and web development, being able to work well in teams, having problem-solving abilities, and demonstrating an enthusiasm for learning new technologies. By showcasing these skills during the interview process, you can secure a great position as a junior web developer, regardless of what projects you built on the side.
Rant over.
Thank you so much for your comment 💝.
I'm going to actually agree with you this one time. 😜 That said, making showcase projects can be a good way to develop some of the skills that companies may be looking for in a web dev.
We all have different opinions, and that's what makes life interesting. Disagreements are bound to happen, but that doesn't mean we should write someone off as being stupid. We can still respect each other, even if we don't see eye to eye on everything. Life would be pretty boring if we all thought the same things.
Yup.
That's very helpful, Thanks for sharing 🙌
A great article if you then go on to link to tutorials, etc, that actually teach you how to do these projects. Otherwise you're saying, "hey, wanna be a golf pro - get really good at chipping, putting and driving!". "Wanna work for NASA - become an expert in astro physics!".
Thanks for sharing 🙌
That sounds great, Thanks for sharing your awesome feedback 🙌
The designs are made by AI from the looks of it. Most likely Midjourney or BlueWillow.
You got some decent ideas here! Just one quick question, where did you get the graphics for the designs you've shown?
Thank You, I generated the graphics using midjourney bot (midjourney.com)
Could a Netflix clone also be listed as one?
Yeah, that can also be a great project idea, just make sure the UI looks pleasing and is responsive on different screen sizes 🙌
Awesome list.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your awesome feedback 🙌
Really great list of projects to practice with react.
It could be so so nice to have figma associated to these beautiful examples 😊
Thank you for sharing 🙏
That sounds great, I used midjourney.com to generate those designs so these are not really made in Figma or any other design software, Hope this helps 🙌
I did like follow save for you and thank you so much for this lovely article ☺️
That sounds great, Thank you so much 🙌

No problem 🙌
May I know the design name of project 2?
It's not really a real project but just a concept generated using Midjourney.com
