Are you really ready to apply for your first React job?
You have no real-world experience
Polite but soul crushing after all the hard work you’ve put in to getting to this point. Here’s what these recruiters have failed to tell you...
You must find a way to stand out to start getting offers:
The React Job Simulator is a fast track to your first job
This first-of-its-kind program has been designed by an experienced Senior React Developer to give you the knowledge, skills and experience to help you land your first React job.
1. Learn a professional git workflow
Git will be the foundation of your work and workflow as a professional developer. You’ll discover how to:
Confidently create, merge and review Pull Requests
Work with Continuous Integration Pipelines
“the Git and GitHub experience has been fantastic… Very much a good idea to give you a better idea of how branches and pull requests actually work.”
2. Work on an existing codebase
You’ll almost always work on an existing codebase, but navigating an unfamiliar codebase can be overwhelming. You’ll learn how to:
Navigate an unfamiliar codebase with ease
Create bug fixes and UI changes
“I recently started a frontend apprenticeship working with React and many of the tasks I’m given are similar to this course. It allowed me to jump right in and start working on their codebase with more confidence.”
3. Build a UI kit based on Figma designs
Every front-end developer needs to know how to work with professional designs. You’ll learn how to:
Implement pixel-perfect designs with Figma
Document components with Storybook
“Got the job and they're starting me on Monday! The pixel-perfect design technique I learned here blew them away!”
4. Learn how to write automated tests
Testing is a rare, but critical skill for Junior Developers. You’ll learn how to:
Write test with Cypress
Debug your tests
“I never bothered with testing and fancy app design. Now I am looking for a new job and everyone wants TDD and proper project design.”
5. Implement your own features
Professional projects are often split into features, discussed, planned and prioritized. You’ll learn how to:
Work through feature requests from a Kanban board
Practice everything by writing code based on designs and covering your work with automated tests
“Discovering this program has been a fantastic experience…you learn how to structure a React project for scalability while implementing features based on high-quality Figma designs.”
6. Community
You’ll get access to a private Discord community where you’ll find support, help and inspiration from a Senior React developer and other members.
Access to a Senior developer with 10+ years of professional experience
Connect with fellow students
“The Discord community does a great job helping with any problems I would struggle with.”
7. AI mentor bot
Inside the Discord community you can also ask Tara (your AI mentor) questions about the codebase. Simply send her a DM and she'll help you out.
Work through feature requests from a Kanban board
Practice everything by writing code based on designs and covering your work with automated tests
“You and Tara (a ChatGPT Discord bot) have been very supportive in guiding me through the experience.”

Who is this for?
If you’re a student or recent graduate looking for your first job, you’ll get the skills to stand out in interviews.
You’ll go from tutorial hell to creating “production-ready” code using professional tools and workflows.
You’ll gain valuables skills and experience to improve your chances of landing your first job.
If you’re an experienced developer without team experience, you’ll learn how to work as part of a team.
WAIT! Before you continue, I want to explain who this is NOT for..
You’ll need an understanding of React, JavaScript, HTML & CSS and ideally you should have built a small project on your own as well.
If you’re looking for your next tutorial or expect a lot of “handholding” with step by step instructions, this program is not for you.
This program will help you, but not right now. It is a challenging program designed to prepare you for the kind of experience you will have as a Junior React Developer and by the end you’ll have the confidence to sell yourself during interviews and the skills you need to effortlessly integrate yourself into an experienced team’s workflow.

Your first React Job is 3 steps away
I’m Johannes, a self-taught developer with over 10 years of professional experience. I've been working with React since January 2016 and throughout my career, I’ve worked with a variety of teams in both small startups and large enterprises. This has given me invaluable insights into different working environments and development practices.
The React Job Simulator is the kind of program I wish existed when I was starting my journey. Back then, I had no exposure to professional developers, no one to compare myself to, and no idea about best practices or go-to tools.
This lack of guidance and knowledge became painfully obvious during my first few job interviews. It took me years to get to a point where I could join a new team and immediately adopt their tools, workflows and processes. But with the knowledge I have now I comfortably make six figures a year and take several months off to spend time with my family.
So when I say I understand the challenges you face, I mean it. And I’ve designed this program to help you skip several years of learning and confidently navigate the job market to land your first React job.
