What do I need to know to get a job, and how do I get that job? (self.cs_career_questions)

For the past year and so many months, I've been in a front-end web developer boot camp. It's self-paced, and for the concepts I know, I feel as though I have a decent grasp on how to use them. Still, based on my failed freelancing attempt and the job requirements I see listed often, it seems like it'll be a long time until I can get a job.

What I currently know is HTML, CSS, JS. I know some basic git and node. I'm currently learning React and Typescript. I am very certain that this is not enough to land a job, and I would like to know any skills I should know by this point.

When I do have the skills, what is the best way to apply to jobs, and what should I know when applying?

Interesting. I'll make a note of this and start collecting some resources. Thank you.
