Keep learning, building websites for your online portfolio and don't stop applying to jobs. You will get there, it is just a matter of time.

React will help you on your search because is very popular, but you have to narrow down the search. Choose one framework and learn it, but be prepared to learn a new one if needed.

As a real example, yesterday a junior I'm helping landed a front-end job. After 1y of learning or so he kept applying to React jobs. In the end he found a nice Angular position, even if he never worked with it before, the company appreciated his as a candidate more than the technology.
