How to be a junior when looking for a job?

Question

JavaScript

Perhaps there were many similar topics, but still. About 6 months ago I decided to discover the world of programming. I realized that one should not be scattered in such complex things and chose one direction, namely JS. I intensively studied this language for 6 months (intensively - every day, there would not be a day if I did not learn something new in js). But here's the trouble (as I think), I'm already 22, I just graduated from the university (the specialty has nothing to do with it), I have no commercial experience. So to speak, I realized it too late. And so the question is: is there any chance for someone like me to still get a job as a junior? Or companies take only students as juniors and everything is lost for me. Of course, this is not about salary, but for now about experience, which is not enough. I actively send resumes around Kiev wherever possible, through job search sites and directly through the websites of companies, but so far to no avail.
What I managed to learn in 6 months. js basics, jquery, socet.io, already tested es6/7 syntax, wrote simple servers using nodejs, requirejs, lodash, underscore, git, gulp, grunt, I write using BEM methodology. To be honest about the layout: I use stylus and I know html and css only at a level sufficient for JS. I also tried the charms of AngularJS (and I'm going to continue to learn it along with TDD). For the last 5 days I have been suffering with react + redux (although, as I understand it, redux is a very cool thing, but so far it is very hard to come by)

Answer 1

Yes, you can get a job as a junior, look better. And keep in mind that they are usually looking for either a frontender or a backender. In the first case, you still need to learn layout well, in the second case, server-side languages ​​such as php. If you only stay in JS, then the way is for you in JS frameworks.
PS Here people ask at 33 whether it's too late to start programming, and you "I'm already 22, everything is lost for me")))
