Can't find a job as an intern?

I added my resume to the classifieds site in the resume section. I filled in the position, age, gender, etc. in the "Additional Information:" section wrote: I want to gain experience. I know Html, css(bootstrap), javascript(jquery, ajax), php, Mysql ,Sql, OOP and MVC. Have experience with a variety of software. I provided my phone number and Skype so that they could contact me. But for a month now no one has called or written to me, there seem to be views. Jobs everywhere require experienced programmers.
What am I doing wrong? Is it worth calling directly to different companies to find out if an intern is needed?

Lots of pointless rudeness in the thread. As if everyone with 5+ programming experience was born and never asked stupid questions.
Topic starter on your question:
"I added my resume to the classifieds site in the resume section."
Only for one? Fill it everywhere so that your resume hangs on xx, kareer.ru, work, ru, etc. Do not forget about the highly specialized "My Circle" (formerly Brainstorage), and itbrain.
"Filled position, age, gender, etc. in the section "Additional information:" wrote: I want to gain experience. I know Html, css(bootstrap), javascript(jquery, ajax), php, Mysql ,Sql, OOP and MVC."
Remove "I want to gain experience" from here. You're not going to work for food, are you?
"I have experience with a variety of software. I indicated my phone number and skype so that they could contact me."
Describe "experience with a variety of software." The line is downright stupid. Do you know how to work with Oracle and Photoshop? with Matkad and WordPress? What does "diverse" mean? This line really spoils your resume, it’s better to write “I have experience with soft1, soft2, soft3, and in more detail - what exactly was done with each product.
” But for a month now no one has been calling or writing to me, there seem to be views. In the vacancies section, experienced programmers are everywhere required."
If they asked me if I want a green engineer or an experienced one, I would say - experienced.
1) A month is not so much. There is a crisis in the country, cuts, current vacancies are frozen, new ones are not opened ,
2) You are an IT specialist. Will be a man, delete the word "like" and "probably" from your vocabulary. This is me to "views like there are." I'm bored with this word because your question sounds like you're confused and/or frightened by the lack of job offers. There is nothing to fear. A good specialist will not be left without a job, but if you "mumble" at the interview and answer the question "have you ever worked with the frontend", answer "like yes" ... You know the result of the social security :) You are cool. You know so many things (for example, I only know muscle from all this, and then as an administrator). Everything will be fine.
3) One of the respondents has already said that the direction is popular, the competition is big. Get ready to destroy competitors and devour their hearts in front of recruiters.
"What am I doing wrong? Is it worth calling directly to different companies to find out if an intern is needed?"
1) Design your summary according to my comments and the comments of other respondents
2) Get yourself together. You have an Adam's apple, so prove the right to have it.
3) If you are from Moscow / St. Petersburg / any other city where there are representative offices of large software companies and integrators, then
a) send your resume there (if there are no suitable vacancies)
b) find XP's phone number, call and say "I'm here for you sivishechku sent, do you have anything relevant to my skills?"
If yes, then arrange an interview, go through, start working
. If not, try looking for a remote job.
Do you want a job? You take and seek. In your city or not. Remote or not. Lacking skills? Learn. Language problems? Learn.
Everything will work out. Good luck.

Why are you sitting on the toaster and not gaining experience?

Question from the series "Is it worth it to me with a girl..... or she herself...?"
Perhaps you are not Russian and therefore I will share the wisdom of our ancestors "You can't even take a fish out of the pond without difficulty." I mean that without "action" the goal will not be achieved. And you have a clearly expressed goal of "working as a junior". No matter what action you take, as long as it leads to the achievement of this goal!

You need to think before you go into the most overloaded programming language for beginners.
I recommend everyone to go to the front-end, but everything is in php and java.
Learn conversational English, go freelancing.

Submit your resume yourself, don't wait for a blessing. Find a vacancy with no experience or with little experience of 1-3 years and send them a resume.

There are thousands of trainees like you. See for yourself - every day the question is how to start an internship, or how to start doing something. And yes, why should they choose you among so many candidates?
Approach this issue from a different angle. Get them interested. Write a resume clearly and without water (that is, you don’t need to write about software), show them at least test projects, for example, layout.

When I was looking for a job, I opened job sites for my city for the vacancy I was interested in and sent them a resume, after 6 interviews I got a job, it took less than a month.
"Knock and it will be opened to you" I don't know who said it, but it helps :)

You are a passive applicant. Do not wait for manna from heaven, write to the emails of Cover letter companies. Don't hesitate to get interested.

We must use every opportunity.
Call wherever you can, write where there is an address.
Work on your resume as much as you can.
Any movement is an opportunity.
And don't worry about rejections. This is an experience.
