⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic resume without highlighting Vue or TypeScript; Trek specifically asks for these.
  • Ignoring the AI coding tools requirement; failing to mention them may suggest you don't use them.
  • Not demonstrating remote collaboration skills; Trek is remote-first, so show you can work independently and communicate asynchronously.
