This is sadly a numbers game, you'll need to apply a lot to increase your probability of hearing back.

Rejections/no replies can be demotivating, but aim to apply to atleast 10-15 companies everyday.

Look out for career pages of companies to see who are actively hiring.

Use keywords like "[your profile] hiring" or something similar on LinkedIn to check out actively hiring folks.

Apply well in advance, these procedures can take anywhere from 1-3 months. Don't be afraid to follow up once or twice.

Try to show what you'll bring to the table from the very start. You can do this by including a portfolio, a separate doc detailing how you can contribute.

Try to network, send in your resume to LinkedIn folks, ask if they're hiring, ask for mentorship opportunities, someone might just refer you.

you cant's unless you have referral. The higher your referral is, irrelevant your skill is.
