Is the front end still easy to find a job now? After repeated rebuffs in the job search, many partners are lamenting: this year’s front-end job search is too difficult!

Especially for students who study by themselves or change careers, the resume sent to the sea, finally get the interview, but also minutes.

But on the other side are a bunch of big companies Shouting: It’s too hard to hire a front end! Clearly, there is a decoupling between the skills of job seekers and the requirements of employers.

Front end can’t find work, big factory can’t recruit front end

The front end is probably the easiest programmer position to get into. It used to be that many people with a little HTML, CSS, jQuery, and bootstrap would be called front-end development.

However, unlike the natural learning curve of the back-end, data or algorithm jobs, the front-end is easy to learn initially, but it generally takes years of full-time work to fully improve.

As a result, the demand for the primary front-end market has been saturated. Many companies’ simple front-end jobs are part-time back-end programmers, and it is difficult for those who still stay in the primary front-end to find jobs.

On the other hand, as the separation of front and back ends prevails, front-end work becomes more specialized, modular, engineered, and even many complex business scenarios are done by the front end.

The scope of front-end is expanding, for example, the original server does not belong to the front-end, but now it can also do some work with Node, the original APP development belongs to the client development, now the front-end can also…… Front end engineers, once at the bottom of the programmer’s disdain chain, have taken off.

These are exactly the front-end engineers that the big factories need, and the entry-level front-end engineers on the market are obviously not up to the task, so there is a decoupling between job search and recruitment: on one side, the front-end can’t find jobs, and on the other side, the big factories can’t recruit front-end engineers.

Are there any gaps in your resume?

It is no exaggeration to say that many front-end students cannot find jobs, largely due to the poor resume, in order to stand out in the stereotyped resume, it is crucial to catch the attention of hr in the first time. Here’s a look at some of the most common pitfalls in a front-end resume:

A simple list of technical terms will not give the hr any useful information, even if the resume is not closed, it will be a hole in the interview.

Instead, use context to explain how you are using the technology. For example, the cause and effect of using this technology, based on what kind of project, to what extent, what specific done, what results and so on.

The second point is the same. Generalizing about your soft power is a pitfall. You need to use specific examples to prove that you have it.

There is no front-end project, the interview is not given

Another big pitfall for a front-end job search is projects. Front-end beginners often have little project experience, and many companies simply brush off their resumes.

However, front-end engineers with 1-2 years of experience usually do screw work and do not know how to summarize project experience, and often do not know how to answer the interviewer’s questions about the project. It is very difficult to meet the basic capacity requirements of large factories.

Many big factory interviewers make it clear: if there is no front-end project, I will not give.

Double front-end technology experts delivered the lecture

Jonathan — Dachang front End Engineer

6 years of front-end development experience, with dual front-end technology experience in silicon Valley and domestic first-tier large factories, Ali P7 on-the-job front-end technology expert, interviewed more than 500 people, familiar with the mainstream front-end framework, have an in-depth understanding of web front-end job search.

Not only learn the front-end technology knowledge, but also the big factory interviewers personally teach “job hunting soft skills” — resume improvement + interview questions + interview skills = direct offer

Who is suitable for learning

Web front-end newbie with 1-2 years of experience

Understand the basic HTML/CSS/JS, but lack of in-depth technical ability, encountered problems without great guidance

Slow technical growth, career bottlenecks

Front-end knowledge iteration is fast, but their own front-end knowledge is not systematic and can not quickly grasp the application, the growth is slow

Want to job-hopping, but no way and no direction

Repeated primary work content, lack of project experience, not up to the ability requirements of first-line factories
