I don't understand, it's the third time I'm being refused for a job because they want someone with more experience. Then why are you looking for junior developer ?!

    Because employers want a senior dev (experience wise) that will accept to be paid the salary of a junior dev.

    @OneQ so there lies your problem. Work on your GitHub that you can show your abilities. 💪

    Have a look at SVG animations. It's easy to do and that's a usefull skill and the eyecandy you need, to show off.

    @-ANGRY-CLIENT- If your a Junior I think 3 things matter: likeabilty, your portfolio, and the ability to impress with new ideas. So that your future employer can benefit from you by learning something new.

    If you do webdev SVG is a invaluable tool and if you just put little effort learning it you can create things that surprises and delights the viewer. That is a big plus in an Interview. Hunderts of lines of code isn't as appealing as let's say an interactive infographic with smooth animations and transitions.
    Animation is an skill easy to learn and easy to sell.

    What do you think about that? :)

    @heyheni that is true. I am talking from the consumer perspective since I have never done such a thing to impress a customer or in this case the recruiter.
