    Hey, I'm looking for a new job as a frontend/web developer.

    For ten years, I've been developing everything from simple websites to complex web applications while routinely being involved in the conception and planning of new projects and products. I make sure they're functional, accessible, and robust. I want to make good software for humans.

    Some takeaways from the search so far:

    - generally very few frontend positions available
    - higher "no reply" ratio these days (>50%) than in the past (<20% for my applications in the past excluding those from this year; yes, I keep track of that)
    - some companies seem to post the same jobs over and over without ever filling them. For some of those, you get rejections saying they went with a more qualified candidate (evidently untrue as the listings are still up weeks later)

    Like usual, most rejections don't matter. They usually come down to decisions made by HR people and/or some automated tool and are more or less random. Sure, maybe I should just stick "React" and "Angular" in my CV somewhere to get around this, but what's the bloody point. Do you want a frontend developer or not?

    Some rejections, however, are a bit mystifying: those, where my experience is such a close fit and my qualification exceeding what's being asked for that I could probably work productively within a week of starting. So, what gives? It makes me feel like my expertise and experience don't actually matter. Then what does?

    @kleinfreund Whenever this happens, I have to assume (and have seen examples of) it is because there is already someone pretty far in the pipeline, not because of the individual.
