This is the exact (not the whole thing) that I did when I tried to apply for my first job role as a junior developer, I did stalk a lot about the CTO and found out that he is so active in Javascript space in my country. He often posts about the direction on where he wants the company to go and which technology they are using, it becomes easy for me to formulate a strategy that I can use during the interview, I created a very strong answer on why they should hire me even if I am just a fresh graduate.

What I am trying to say, is it will work even for developers who are just starting out and have no good experience yet.
