This is a very silly* advice, but try to tag along fellow developers, reach to communities, like DEV here but more. Maybe a local developers Slack, Discord, and the like.
The fact is, most people tend to go for the people they know when they know for a job opening in their company or from someone they know.
Also, knowing people might lead to make bigger projects together wether this is a in a freelance work, or as a practice.
Collaborative works wonders in help you learn and achieve work goals.
(*) silly as in, this is not a real "coding" advice.
I definitely second the advice of trying to network with people and build those soft skills. If you can make actual friendships with people who are already working as developers, it will help open a lot of doors naturally. Good luck with your job hunt, and don't let the imposter syndrome get you, you can absolutely do this if you are passionate about it!
