That's an amazing feat!
How many projects did you have under your belt before you started applying for positions? And do you have any tips on how to get interviews?
Well it wasn't much. a couple of responsive static web pages (nothing too fancy), and after that there was a bigger project made as a course project:
A responsive webpage made with Node, EJS instead of HTML, some Javascript and MongoDB... some other npm libraries to implement functions such as authentication, maps and other stuff... it wasn't that hard now that I think about it but it forced me to remember tons of new concepts.
Other than that, my CV was vague about dates and I didn't specify which bachelor degree I have, just that I had one, erased everything that wasn't IT related from the "Experiences" sections and that's it.
I haven't really found anything suitable for me on stackoverflow.com or indeed.com, but in Italy there's this website that I've learnt is quite popular (iprogrammatori.it) and I received lots of calls from some recruiters.
During the call with some soft-skills to sounds "nice" did the trick to get a face-to-face interview and someone appreciated the efforts...
So yeah, I think that your CV is just something that has the goal to make someone else curious about what you've done... They'll call you to ask you something else, like some more specific dates in my case, and by the phone you'll have to give them a reason to get you an interview.

I'll try to keep this in mind. Thanks a lot.
