For the past year and so many months, I’ve been in a front-end web developer boot camp. It’s self-paced, and for the concepts I know, I feel as though I have a decent grasp on how to use them. Still, based on my failed freelancing attempt and the job requirements I see listed often, it seems like it’ll be a long time until I can get a job.

What I currently know is HTML, CSS, JS. I know some basic git and node. I’m currently learning React and Typescript. I am very certain that this is not enough to land a job, and I would like to know any skills I should know by this point.

When I do have the skills, what is the best way to apply to jobs, and what should I know when applying?

    After you learn react, I recommend learning about REST APIs, how to use them and how to make them. Also learn how to connect your react app to databases like mongodb. Some libraries to look into are axios and bootstrap and react bootstrap
