Forget side projects and all of that crap!

Apply, apply, apply.... Sent out 30+ applications for positions you are somewhat qualified for.

Polish your CV, make clear that you have EXPERIENCE and GETTING THINGS DONE.

When you get an invite to an interview, create a little project in React (or whatever framework they are using), follow best practices and publish it on GitHub.

I am freelancing for quite a bit, and what companies want are peopöe who get the job done and understand their business.

Demonstrate this. Everything else is just the cherry on top.

You can start learning React and Vue, but what you want is understandinh fundamentals about frontend work (which you probably have).

So yeah, apply everywhere until you have a foot in the door and take it from there!
