Professional experience
- CSS will be your bread and butter and for smooth working experience it would be good if you knew: all selector types, selector specificity, fonts, relative units, box sizing, positioning, block/inline layout, float layout, flexbox layout, grid layout, responsiveness, pseudo elements, animations, effects on performance, etc.
- You will write your styles in SCSS, so it’s good to know your way around variables, functions, mixins, extends, operators, etc.

- Discuss problems with honesty, keep focus on what’s important and what we want to achieve
- Take responsibility and own your actions
