JavaScript Interview Questions Part II
Dear JavaScript Engineers,
We continue to work on a project providing feedback on the developer’s interview skills for JavaScript-related jobs.
We always try to improve as interviewers, and one of the biggest steps to improve yourself — is to grab some actual feedback regarding the required skills for JavaScript-related jobs.
We made a small survey with 18 questions, like
- Which «pure JavaScript» questions have you been asked?
- What is the funniest question you’ve been asked?
And this is part two — questions about technical questions.
Would you mind to fill in the questionary we made about your last / best interview?
1. Which «pure JavaScript» questions have you been asked? *
a. JavaScript Basics (Data Types, Closures, Scopes)
b. JavaScript Advanced Topics (Prototypes, Inheritance, Functions)
c. Browsers API (DOM, Events, AJAX)
d. HTML & CSS Basics (Selectors, Styles)
e. Promises (async / await)
f. Other EcmaScript 6+ (Classes, Destructuring, Templates)

We would really appreciate your help, and we promise to write an article about it “What a JavaScript Developer Should Know” later on based on survey results.
In the end, we want to help developers to be successful with passing interviews.
Please let us know your thoughts on the topic! Is it useful? Is there something missing in the questionary?
Thanks for your time!
