As JavaScript continues to grow in popularity, more and more jobs are becoming prevalent across the globe. A quick search for my local region in England reveals dozens of jobs that either have JavaScript as a core technology, or an assisting technology. It’s therefore more important than ever to make sure your personal portfolio for JavaScript is as best as you can possibly make it.

Here are my top four projects that I’d recommend for your portfolio to help bolster your chances of getting your dream job.

Project One: Cloud Storage Service

Cloud services are still rising in popularity and so too are the need for developers who can build platforms on top of the high performing high intensity hardware. A project that focuses on building a back end system that is capable of uploading and downloading files, with some additional extras such as encryption and file compression (although you could consider this a project all in itself).

My advice would be to build a decoupled front end and back end system, unless you are trying to advertise yourself as a full stack developer. As always as with any portfolio project, try and make sure your code is available for review on your Github.
