@mzeffect fellow London Dev here, hope you enjoy the city and make use of it! Rent is a tough pill to swallow but once you see what the city has to offer you'll quickly forget!

@helloworld looks like the coffees being brewed extra strong today. Thanks for the help!

@helloworld You would of thought so but we're an online service that's commission based so we don't invoice people. Just have company names, contact names, email address & website URL.

Was thinking of maybe scraping Google as it's such a small number of people. Use the list of company names to search Google then pull of the address that it serves up.

@JohanO United Kingdom primarily, I'm just looking for a method so I don't have to manually search and build a database but haven't had any luck!

@liammartens I was looking at companies houses which is listed by the UK Gov. The only issue is noone puts their account in UK, they're all seem to be in Dublin or Jersey for some reason. Definitely not because of tax though....

So I sent the website that I made off yesterday! I've attached a google drive link to a screenshot of it so you lovely guys and ladies can have a look!

Haven't heard anything back yet but glad I could accomplish so much in the time limit I set myself. Didn't have time to build the footer or tweak some positioning but i'm happy with the overall effort.

Thanks for all the help and support amigos!

@donkeyScript I'm not sure! All i received was a jpeg so I'm just filling in with images I think fit the brief. Realistically it'll take me a good few hours but practice is practise! If it's not responsive it can't have that much commercial value haha

Haha I think I'm going to spend a few hours on it regardless, use it as practice! Sucks that there's this kind of people out there! :(

Ive found a live version of the design funnily enough:

How does this effect your views?

@GinjaNinja

I was a little confused as too why he asked me to use no framework! This is going to take up a lot of time which seems excessive for a test but I don't really have a choice! The folder also came with minimal resources (1 svg file)!

Is this normally how companies test possible junior devs?

Is this not a normal front-end test?

Brief I received:
"Hello Jake,

I hope you are well.

Please find attached an archive with artwork for the test, as we discussed yesterday. 

You will find a mockup from an outstanding project here at superyachts.com. It is not intended to be responsive, so don’t stress much about that. Use whatever tools you are most comfortable with to get the job done. Bonus points if: a) bootstrap is not used b) minimum of artwork is used for features that can be recreated using CSS. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,"

I'm confused.

@JakeHL

Thanks so much for the info compadre!

It almost seems there's a lot of Junior role anxiety floating round and I see why! You learn in classroom environments or via books and websites like myself. Think you have a grasp on how everything works, head out into the big bad world and grab a freelance job and it's nothing like what you've been taught!

Looks like the best way to learn this craft is to dive in head first and work your ass off!

@JakeHL

Haha it's no problem at all! The more info the better!

I see what you mean about it being completely dependent on the role/company and what they're after. I'm applying for the role in a company that boasts about their value beliefs and improving employees. I'm hoping for this reason they're interested in my growth mindset and the experience I already have from freelancing.

Guess that's the good thing about inexperience, it's only temporary!

@JakeHL totally, it makes perfect sense to be clear about your skill level otherwise it's a waste of time. I guess my question was really what level/difficulty of test will a Junior role application involve which has been answered. Junior roles seem to be a double edged sword of having the right amount of experience If any!

Thanks for the feedback guys!

:)
