Frontend Developer

Tip 1: Master semantic HTML for SEO and accessibility. Coalition Technologies places a heavy emphasis on ADA compliance and SEO. Instead of using generic containers, learn the deeper nuances of semantic tags and ARIA labels. A site that looks good but cannot be read by a screen reader or indexed correctly by Google is considered a failure in a high-end agency environment.

Tip 2: Practice precise CSS implementation. The development challenge specifically tests your ability to match a design exactly. Improve by using browser extensions like PerfectPixel to overlay a design image on top of your live code. Pay close attention to letter spacing, exact padding and margins, and specific font weights to ensure your work is indistinguishable from the designer’s mockup.

Tip 1: Highlight quantitative impact and tools. Instead of just listing tasks, use the Action–Result format. For example, instead of saying “Built responsive websites,” say “Optimized page load speeds by 30% by implementing lazy loading and minification.” Also, explicitly list your proficiency in SEO and ADA compliance, as these are high-priority requirements for their team.

Tip 2: Include a Live Projects section. For technical roles, a link is worth a thousand words. Ensure your resume has a dedicated section for your portfolio or GitHub, but take it a step further by including direct links to live, hosted versions of your best work. This allows hiring managers to immediately inspect your code’s responsiveness and pixel-perfect implementation without needing to download any files.
