Park+ | Frontend Intern | Virtual
Summary
I interviewed for a Frontend Intern role at Park+. The process included an HR round and a technical round focused on frontend technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React, along with a live coding assignment to build a To-Do list app. Due to my recent focus on backend, my frontend skills were rusty, and I struggled, not expecting to progress further.
Full Experience
Round 1 – HR Interview
I was contacted by an HR for an immediate-joining role. The HR introduced the company, explained the role, and asked me to introduce myself and explain my frontend-related projects. While my focus had recently shifted to backend (Java & Spring Boot), I still proceeded with the opportunity.

Preparation Tips
Personal Reflection
Due to my backend focus, my frontend fundamentals were rusty. I struggled with some HTML/JS/React questions and couldn’t complete the assignment. The interviewer seemed unsatisfied, so I don't expect to progress further. A good reminder to stay interview-ready across stacks.
