Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate hands-on front-end work through a portfolio, GitHub projects, or internship experience. Familiarity with component-based frameworks like React or Vue, an understanding of responsive design, and evidence that you've collaborated with a small team all give candidates a real edge over those who rely on coursework alone.
