The latest JS framework won't get you hired.

The latest JS framework won’t get you hired.

OOP and prototypal inheritance won’t get you hired.

Functional programming won’t get you hired.

A clear thinking process will do.

Teamwork will do.

Active listening skills will do.

Honesty about what you know will do.

Willingness to learn will do.

In software development*, the ability to do the job doesn’t mean job fit.

Work hard, be kind.

Help everyone you come in touch with.

That will get you hired.

Stay cool,
