The skills that will be tested, explained
Written by our editorial team, not taken from the listing.
TypeScript
On the job: Describing the shape of your data so mistakes surface while you type rather than in production. In practice it is mostly about modelling domain types well.
How it is assessed: Code review conversations: why a union instead of an optional field, how you would type an API response you do not control.
On your CV: Mention migration work — "Converted a 60k line JavaScript codebase to strict TypeScript" — because that is measurable.
React
On the job: Building user interfaces out of components, managing state without turning the app into a web of side effects, and knowing when a re-render is costing your users time.
How it is assessed: Expect a live or take-home exercise: fetch data, render a list, handle loading and error states. Interviewers watch for how you split components and where you put state.
On your CV: Name the app, the scale, and the outcome: "Rebuilt a 40-screen dashboard in React, cutting first paint from 4.1s to 1.3s."
Next.js
On the job: Rendering the right thing in the right place: server components for data, client components for interaction, caching so pages are fast and cheap to serve.
How it is assessed: Architecture questions about rendering strategies and caching, plus a practical build task.
On your CV: Talk about Core Web Vitals and traffic. Numbers beat adjectives on a CV every time.
Also listed: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Git, REST API, Responsive Design.

How to apply for this role well
Tailoring your CV
- Put JavaScript, TypeScript, React in the top third of page one. Most screens for a Frontend Developer take under a minute, and recruiters read top-down.
- Mirror the language of the listing where it is honest to do so. If the advert says "JavaScript", write "JavaScript" — not a synonym an applicant tracking system will miss.
- Lead each bullet with a verb and close it with a number. "Managed reporting" is invisible; "Rebuilt weekly reporting for 12 branches, cutting prep time from 6 hours to 40 minutes" is not.
- The listing puts "Build responsive web applications and interfaces" first, which usually signals the day-one priority. Make sure one bullet on your CV maps directly to it.
- For a remote role, state your time zone and any prior remote experience explicitly. Hiring managers filter on it and will not guess.
- Keep it to two pages and export as PDF so your layout survives.
Your cover letter
- Open with the specific role and where you saw it: "I am applying for the Frontend Developer role at CareerHub." No suspense, no throat-clearing.
- Paragraph two is the one that matters. Take a single requirement from the listing and give a concrete example of doing it, with the outcome.
- Show that you know something about CareerHub beyond its homepage — a product decision, a market they operate in, a recent change in general.
- Close with availability and a clear next step. Three to four short paragraphs, under 300 words, in the body of the email if you are applying by email.
- Never send the same letter twice. Reviewers can tell, and a generic letter is worse than none.
Before you hit send
- A CV tailored to this listing, saved as PDF with your name in the filename.
- A short cover note that names the role and one relevant result.
- Two referees who have agreed in advance to be contacted.
- Ten minutes to complete the application form on this page.
Interview preparation
- Prepare a two-minute answer to "why this role at CareerHub?" that references the company's work in general.
- Have three STAR stories ready — situation, task, action, result — that cover JavaScript and TypeScript.
- Expect at least one question about working remote, especially how you keep work visible to people who cannot see your screen.
- Prepare two questions of your own. Good ones: what does success look like in the first 90 days, and what does the team find hardest right now?
Industry context
CareerHub works in General. As the organisation, that affects how the Frontend Developer role is scoped: smaller teams tend to want breadth and a bias to action, larger ones want depth and evidence that you can work across functions. Candidates who research the sector — its customers, its regulation, its current pressures — interview noticeably better than those who research only the company.
CareerHub is a career and employment platform connecting job seekers with opportunities while providing useful career resources, workplace information, and professional development content.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Frontend Developer role at CareerHub remote?
Yes. This position is advertised as remote. Confirm the accepted time zones and whether the company can employ in your country before you apply.
What salary does this role pay?
The advertised range is NGN 200K – NGN 250K/mo. Total package may also include bonus, pension and leave, so ask for the full breakdown at screening stage.
How do I apply?
Use the application form on this page. You will need your CV and about ten minutes.

Two to three weeks is typical. If you have heard nothing after ten working days, a short, polite follow-up to the recruiter is appropriate and will not count against you.

Mid level. If you meet roughly 70% of the requirements it is still worth applying — very few candidates match every line of a job advert.
