I'm more worried about landing a Job. It's been 9 months since I've started looking out for jobs and companies reject me and don't tell me the reason, they also expect me to have 2 years of experience, experience I can't earn because companies reject me because of my lack of experience.

LinkedIn, or other specific websites which hire people. Like here in india their is a website named naukri.com, Indeed, Monster which shows jobs profiles for different companies.

There might be some websites for country too.

I'm already looking for jobs through LinkedIn, all I care about is the job title of the job I want (Front-end developer), I apply to all companies that have these job offers, it doesn't matter if they are large, middle, small-sized or startups.

Yup. The industry has a problem. Everyone wants senior or mid level devs. Nobody is fostering Jr devs to become mid level. There is already a shortage of developers. The problem is only going to become worse if companies don't start developing Juniors.
