Frontend Interview Tips
Dylan C. Israel's Pro-tier course on the non-coding side of frontend interviews: about 1.7 hours of advice from someone who has sat on both sides of the table.
Quick answer
Frontend Interview Tips is a 1.7-hour, Pro-tier, intermediate course taught by Dylan C. Israel. It covers the behavioral and process side of interviewing, how to present yourself, handle questions, and navigate the hiring pipeline, rather than coding drills. It is worth it because most developers over-prepare the coding and under-prepare everything else. Pair it with the coding-focused interview courses for full coverage.

Most interview prep obsesses over coding challenges and ignores the parts that actually sink candidates: weak answers to behavioral questions, fumbling the process, not knowing how to talk about your work. This course addresses that blind spot, and the both-sides-of-the-table perspective is what makes the advice credible rather than generic.
The honest caveat is that this is not coding practice and will not improve your problem-solving. It is the complement to the technical prep, not a substitute. If your weakness is the algorithms, this is the wrong course; you want the challenge-based ones instead.
What you'll learn
Across 24 lessons the course works through the human side of frontend interviewing: how to answer behavioral questions, how to talk about your projects and experience, how the hiring process tends to flow, and how to present yourself as someone a team wants to work with. Dylan Israel draws on having been both an interviewer and a candidate, so the guidance reflects what hiring managers actually weigh.
It is advice and process rather than coding, which is exactly the gap most self-directed interview prep leaves open.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
It fits developers preparing for frontend job interviews who have the technical skills but feel unsure about the conversation, the behavioral questions, or the process. It is useful for busy professionals making a career switch.
Skip it if your gap is technical rather than behavioral, in which case JavaScript Interview Challenges and React Interview Questions are the courses you want.
Prerequisites
None technical. You should be at or near the point of applying for frontend roles for the advice to be actionable, but there is no coding prerequisite.
Where it fits
This is a standalone career-skills course rather than a step in a coding path. It is the behavioral half of interview readiness and is best taken alongside the coding-focused interview courses, JavaScript Interview Challenges and React Interview Questions.
Free or Pro
This is a Pro course, so it requires a Scrimba subscription. Pro also covers the full career paths, the coding challenges, the Discord, and certificates. See current plans for what Pro costs in your region.
Strengths and limits
What it does well: it tackles the under-prepared, non-coding side of interviews, and the both-sides perspective makes the advice land as practical rather than platitudinous.
Where it is limited: it does nothing for your coding ability, so it only helps if the interview conversation is your actual weak point, and some advice is inevitably general rather than tailored to a specific company.
