Ability to sell yourselfCannot stress how important it is that you have all 3 . Someone willing to learn can pick up a new framework in a matter of a few weeks . Same with dev tools like npm , webpack , sass , etc . There ' s a difference between people who code for money and people who code because they love it . Having a portfolio strongly demonstrates that you ' re invested in the craft , and that ' s valuable . Finally , I need to sense that you are confident in your abilities , whatever level they are . If you BS , I can smell it . Being able to sell yourself is having the means to show me you are who you say you are . I know what I want , I don ' t know what you are , and if all you ' re doing is showing me you ' re meeting the bare minimum of the requirements that HR came up with , I ' m not going to be very interested . This can be fixed fairly easily by reading up on the company , asking the right questions to figure out what problems we ' re facing , and explain how hiring you can solve them .
