I've been studying frontend for a year and a half. I know how to use HTML, CSS, JS, React, Redux, Git. Since January, I have been actively looking for a job, sending resumes to hrs directly by mail, responding to vacancies, writing cover letters, monitoring job search sites. Also in my portfolio there are several full-fledged working projects using the above technology stack, I willingly complete test tasks, replenish my git, send out resumes, but now the 7th month of constant running around is underway, and there is no hint of employment.
I understand that there is a development school, a recruitment of interns, but usually people are not taken to such places for a remote format, only the presence in the office. Unfortunately, my city is not full of such opportunities.
Give advice on what to do next? I have no commercial experience. For a long time I suggested to interested people to make a free site, but it's not that. People don't take responsibility for things they don't pay for.
I rummaged through all the articles on the topic of finding a job for junu, they write that the main thing is to be diligent, they add tips that I follow.
However, I feel like I'm treading water. I will be glad for any advice. About how to get a job faster, how to improve your skills (every day includes practice in programming, writing code, but I still feel like I'm standing still and need real projects to move on).
I hope experienced guys will help with a word of nedojunu :')

If you open hh now and look at the top ten resumes, it turns out that 99% of them are crap (pardon my French). 99% of people are not able to link even a few words into a meaningful text, and the github that they apply is more of a minus than a plus. Wangyu that you have the same thing, and what you consider to be a summary and normal code - most likely they are not. You didn't even think to attach them to get constructive criticism. What answer are you waiting for? "Do your best"?

It seems to me that a good option would be to move to Moscow / St. Petersburg for several years. After that, you can return (or not return), and get settled remotely. Without experience, it is difficult to find a remote job, because. remote workers are required to be independent, and it is difficult to expect this from juniors.
Freelancing is also a good option if you take orders in which you understand 80% what to do. Having done 3-4 real projects, you will have something to talk about at the interview, and you will be better compared to other juniors with no experience. But in freelancing, getting an order without experience is even more difficult than an offer :) Therefore, it’s better to come up with a task for yourself, implement it and present it as real projects.
Perhaps the point is that your resume is poorly formatted, but I could not find your resume. According to the text of the question, I did not understand at what point the refusal occurs. If after the interview, ask for feedback, let them tell you what you are missing, and after filling in the gaps, ask for another interview.
Answer questions here on the toaster, an active profile in professional communities gives a plus to your resume (I know what I'm talking about).

Well, if you have been looking for a job for the 7th month, then you can solve problems with money .....
Of course, everyone's situation is different, but have you thought about freelancing? With proper portfolio design, there will be no end to orders.
And so I see two problems, you cannot "sell" yourself and the second, and you are a girl. Discrimination((((((
Try to get a job through an acquaintance.....
Most likely there are no such acquaintances, but don't forget about the theory of six handshakes....
I'm sure my advice will seem dubious to you, but think it over anyway.

Probably one of the few ways that are open in such conditions is outsourcing, they are galleys. There are many pluses, but there will be one big minus - a high rhythm and intensity of work. If it doesn’t work out there, then this is practically a sentence for remote work.

Well, they don’t take juniors to a remote location, they don’t take them . And they will never take it (unless for a big pull, but this is an exception that still needs to be found). And they don’t take it for a very simple reason - in order to get something “edible” from a june at a distance, you need to take a separate chela so that he controls what the jun gives out.
You either for a meal in the office, or for freelancing.

The easiest option is to seek advice from an HR specialist who is profiled in the selection of personnel in IT.
They will help you write a competent resume and select vacancies that are worth applying for.
I don’t remember if it’s possible to write the names of third-party sites here, in general, a site with specialists from different areas. There you will find who you need and for 2-5k the question will move forward.

The same bullshit) There are more than 380 resumes on xx py in one direction in programming, and there are about 10 vacancies in my city for the position of junior, and about 20 for the highest position, in addition, my friend graduated from the tower as a programmer, from his group, in his specialty Looks like no one got it right. (I don’t take into account any system administrators, etc.)
