I'm a Senior Developer and Co-host of Friday Night Deploys Podcast. I'm also a dad that likes to play video games and lift, always failing to keep it real with the kidz.
Keep your known languages and libraries focused on the things you know.
Ask yourself to explain the languages and libraries you know, you'll find any gaps you might have and what level of experience you have when it comes up.
Research on these gaps, you don't want to be stuck getting asked: "Can you define OOP?" without an answer.
Proofread for any typos or mistakes. Written and verbal communication is more important than people think as a developer, and this can give off a less than good first impression.
Remember all the things you put down on your resume, sometimes it can be too easy to jot something down and forget about it. You don't want to get blind-sighted by your own resume.
Bonus Make a small, simple, nice looking portfolio site and leave a link on your resume. Especially as a front end developer, it's a nice addition that shows you know the basics of creating and deploying something to the web. It also allows you to better show off any small projects you might already have on the go and add a little more personality about yourself.
Overall, be honest in both your resume and interviews. Interviewers can usually tell when you're genuine.
Hope you land somewhere fitting that will allow you to grow your skills! Good luck!

Thanks Phil. I will definitely add a portfolio website. It is still under development in Gatsby.js
