Good afternoon, I’ve been trying to find a job for about 2 months now, I respond to all the vacancies that come across on hh for the position of a junior (there are very few of them, and even less remotely), I solved about 5-6 test tasks (during this time it’s very greatly improved my knowledge), but the work does not want to be)) At first there were quite reasonable comments on the code, then less and less. The last thing they told me when I completed the test task was: "Your code is good, but we need a person who will think like the rest of the team, etc."
I also gave other developers (with experience) to check my tasks, on the contrary, they told me that my code is very good and that the comments are mostly unfounded.
There are fewer and fewer vacancies at hh, but you need to find a job.
The question is how to find it? Where to look? Who to contact?

How to find a remote job as a Junior React developer with no experience ?

Miraculously. But most likely not.

1. Everything does not end with react, if you have not studied js for at least half a year or do not have much experience with other languages, or are not a mega-cool olympiad in computer science / mathematics, and in general at 4 years old "Flight of the Bumblebee" on the "piano played" , then ... this is a very short time and it is difficult to say that you really know / are able to do something.
2. June and remote work - well ... xs ... dangerous, because. you do not sufficiently represent the principles of working in a team, there is no understanding of how the development process is built as a whole. You need to invest time/money in a jun, the jun for the first 2-6 months is more like a ballast than a full-fledged developer. At a remote location, it's even worse, because. you will absorb more slowly, and everyone understands this. In other words, you're better off looking for an office job.
3. You can get into some company through local courses, I know that some companies organize various schools for beginners and 'okolonoviki', of which the most active after graduation either immediately get into the staff or are put on a pencil.

There are always vacancies for any job, just people publish them where they see fit, for example, on their website, or they don’t publish them at all for some reason, so you need to take the initiative and write yourself.
A green rookie needs a team or a mentor. You can find a job right in this post, for this you need to learn how to look for opportunities where others do not see them.
My message can help you find a job, but for this you must take the initiative. What I see when I read your post:
1. The question is well viewed, including potential employers.
2. People are a little interested in you, asking about the code.
3. Some have regular customers and can offer you remote work for some tasks, but so far they themselves do not know this.
4. You want to find a job, but show little initiative to do so.
- Just show your code so people can appreciate your skills.
- Tell me how much you want to receive, not the fact that the figure you name will be correct for you or for the employer, but by doing so you declare your intention to sell your knowledge, then you can agree.
- What growth prospects are you considering, for example, are you ready to learn something else besides React, for example Vue.
- What do you want from work, fast money, experience, difficult tasks, responsibility, teamwork.

solved somewhere 5-6 test tasks

I basically failed 1-2 test tasks, and the next time everything was ok and they took me. Could this be the issue? And then fail 5-6 test tasks and not find a job ... well, that's it.
PS stack not React

There is also a habr-career and habr-freelance. www.fl.ru website. For 5 years of work in outsourcing, I found two regular customers on fl.ru and habr-freelance (then it was just freelansim.ru). And worked with everyone for quite a long time. But the search can be long. Especially now. Therefore, it is worth working in the office. Even for pennies. And in parallel to look for a normal contract. In the office, you need to work at least at the rate of a js developer. Work experience is included in the resume.
