Hi Angel,

I was in your position a couple of years ago and I found the most powerful form of advertisement was my own website.

Your site is built with Squarespace which to me is a massive red flag. (depending on what kind of role you're looking for)

Try rebuild with just HTML CSS js and host it yourself, I like to look at awwwards.com for inspiration.

I would also suggest posting regularly to LinkedIn and commenting on other developers posts, start following the companies you would like to work for and even ask the lead dev if they would like to get coffee with you sometime.

You will get there!
