Why Most Frontend Developers Get Rejected (Even When They Can Code)
Quick reality check.
Most frontend developers aren’t rejected because they lack talent.
They’re rejected because they accidentally signal risk.
What companies quietly screen for:
  • GitHub that shows real progression (not tutorial dumps)
  • Portfolios that look like real company work
  • Resumes that show impact, not long lists of tools
  • Strong fundamentals in layout, state, and communication
What gets people rejected fast:
  • Generic projects
  • Messy GitHub profiles
  • Overstuffed resumes
  • Applying blindly with no tailoring
These are strategy mistakes, not ability problems.
We put together a clear breakdown of the 10 most common mistakes that get frontend developers rejected and what good actually looks like instead.
If you want the document,
👉 DM me “REJECTED” and I’ll send it to you.
Fixing the right things once beats guessing for months.
