  DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS, AND SKILLSETS

  JavaScript often plays a foundational role in the development of an interactive website. Traditionally, JavaScript developers worked on the front-end operation of a website, but recently, JavaScript has been incorporated into all aspects of website development, including back-end operations. The best candidates should have experience in all facets of website development.

  Like most programmers, coders, and developers, the most effective JavaScript developers should have specific personality traits. Look for candidates that are intellectual, introspective, inquisitive, curious, methodical, rational, analytical, and logical. A quality JavaScript developer should be able to work in a fast-paced environment and implement complex design specifications.

  Depending on the size of the organization, a JavaScript developer may be asked to work with other developers, ranging from back-end systems like database interaction, to front-end design personnel. JavaScript is likely to play a role in just about every aspect of a website, so candidates should have the demonstrable ability to work in a team setting of cooperation and collaboration.
