I stumbled on their blog <a href="https://mobilejazz.com/blog/how-to-handle-errors-properly-ux/" rel="noopener noreferrer">How to Handle Errors Properly [UX]</a>. After which I decided to browse through their GitHub and Social Media pages, I really loved it and went straight like this is a company I would love to be in.</p> <p>So I clicked their job board to check the requirement needed to join. I smiled wide when I <a href="https://mobilejazz.com/jobs" rel="noopener noreferrer">opened it</a></p> <p><a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fehzy12xcielo7ctjn05e.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2Fehzy12xcielo7ctjn05e.png" alt="Apply through our API"></a></p> <p>I then decided instead of applying through the API why not create a simple form to do that. After all I am applying to join the frontend and backend teams. So I did and <a href="https://mobilejazz.netlify.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">hosted</a> it on Netlify. But unfortunately my request was blocked due to CORS.</p> <p><a href="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F65nz80u1e0wo7bpr7zso.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fthepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fi%2F65nz80u1e0wo7bpr7zso.png" alt="Mobile Jazz Application form"></a></p> <p>I applied with postman eventually , still waiting for their response, but till then I will try and work around the CORS error. I will update you on how it goes. </p> <p>Are you a recruiter? Maybe on your next fronted hiring spree let applicants build a form to apply with. I am sure it will be an amazing experience for both of you.</p> remote jobapplication react frontend Kobby Sat, 24 Nov 2018 20:13:47 +0000 https://dev.to/kobbymmo/trying-to-get-up-to-speed-with-python-developement--aah https://dev.to/kobbymmo/trying-to-get-up-to-speed-with-python-developement--aah <p>I am trying to get up to speed with Python because its gonna be my base language for a while now.
