Ask HN: What do you look for when hiring a junior/trainee developer?
I&#x27;m looking for my first web developer job and wondering what to expect from the interview. How do you interview junior developers? What do you look for, specifically:<p>-Do you set programming tests? If so, what kind of tests do you set?
-What&#x27;s the minimum portfolio of work you expect to see?
-What kind of questions do you ask?
-Do you look for any particular attitude or personality traits?<p>To clarify, I&#x27;m a non-CS graduate looking to get on the first rung of the ladder, so my question relates to introductory jobs with smaller companies rather than top tech firms.
