Hi Angel,

Don't get discouraged, it's a tough industry with so many developers out there now willing to take just about anything, making it hard for everyone to find a place.

From your list, it feels like you are doing all the right things. One thought I have that I didn't see on the list is maybe contributing to open source? Plus, do you have anything on GitHub, it seems more and more companies check GitHub for examples of peoples work.

I know how frustrating it must be but hang in there, there's a place for everyone. Just think how great it will be when you find the right place that was waiting for you all this time.

My github is linked on my profile. I post on there regularly mostly small projects. I know how to do issues but not pull requests.
