look those mean nothing unless you have something to show and sell.
Do you have a Github repository with showable projects where you can give your potential future employer an example on how to solve a business problem? -
@heyheni Yeah, I'm building two Websites atm. One for a group I'm in and one for a company, but they are private repos. Both frontend and backend for both

As some of the most useful posts here have stated: it vastly depends on your curriculum/portfolio.
If you have something to show it will definitely help. Sometimes it is more of a matter of personality and fitting in. At work I would gladly take in a newbie that shows promise IF i dig his/her attitude and feel that said person would be a good fit. Learn how to get a feel from people since most of the tech skills you would normally use in web dev can be learned with enough dedication.
It is the "people skills" where a lot of these folks seem to be lacking.

icycrash6835yDo you know people at the job your applying for that is important there? If not you your not employable.

irene33925yThey don’t mean squat for employability if you have no interpersonal skills and refuse to put yourself out there for risk of rejection. What you do in a vacuum is sort of meaningless. So it seems like you have skills but you should always leave interpersonal skills on your list of developer skills.
I know:
-Python
-Web Development
-JavaScript
-Node.JS
-Electron
-Linux
-- In all of this, I know lots but not nearly close to everything
Am I employable?
I don't feel like I know enough.
question
employable?
