Hiring junior developers isn’t about what they know now: it’s about their ability and eagerness to learn new things and grow into the role. I would have a totally different set of questions for junior devs:

1. How long have you been coding?
2. What have you learned and accomplished in that time?
3. How did you get interested in programming?
4. Do you have some current code samples I can look at?
5. What are you doing to learn?
6. What areas and technologies are you particularly excited about? Front end? Design work? Node? React?
7. Are you interested in finding a mentor?
