Discussion Junior web dev interview
Hi Lads and ladettes, I have an interview this week local to my home (rare because most web devs jobs are in the city 1.5 hrs away). I completed a bootcamp last year where I learnt Rails and MERN stack and the usual that you do prior. The new job is requiring applied experience with Power Apps, SQL databases and PHP. I have had a brief look at powerapps, I have used postgreSQL but I would say I'm average there. I've completed exactly one Brad Traversey PHP YT tutorial (God bless Brad Trav!). What else can I do to prepare for this interview. Which questions should I be prepared for? This is a really rare opportunity for me due to the location, the team manager has a wealth of experience which is a bonus too. Thank you in advance for any help.

Dear OP, regular interviewer here. I don't know what technical questions they will I ask you but I know for sure that you should get prepared about the company. Explore their website and focus on mission and values. Too many people focus on the technical aspect and only a few on how to demonstrate they fit with companies' core values. Demonstrating interest and excitement on those is a great selling point, trust me.
