We've all been there, it does get better. Make sure you're using something like Github to show off your work.

One thing I would recommend is spending an hour looking at jobs in the area where you want to work (I mean the city/country not tech) for all levels and write down the techs they want that way when you come to learning something new you know what tech your job market is looking for.

Also, network. a lot of jobs sadly get stopped at HR level if you don't tick certain boxes even if they're not actually required. So meeting developers online or at events can help you get around that barrier.

I mentor people who're trying to look for work as well as building portfolios. Feel free to message me if you need any help.
