Unless not specified put work-from-home assignments on github so you can enhance your CV.
Yes I have a number of personal projects on my GitHub and I'm adding more.
Participate in Meetups and coding groups in your area as you can find senior developers who can vouch for you or suggest a path to go.
This is a bit tricky for me as I have 2 young children 🤗 and many meetups are at evening hours. However I have a few fantastic dev mentors who have guided my journey greatly.
