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.
