How do I get a job as a software developer?

Hi. I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this. If it is not I apologize.

If you had to advise someone in today’s competitive market in getting a job in the field what would you say? Note: I have never had a job in the field . I have applied to many jobs and have been mostly ignored .

What things do you think I should focus on most to improve my probability of success? Building a portfolio? Work on getting a professional resume? Something else.. What would make a potential employer consider my application .

Note : I have finished 2 bootcamps , but not a bachelors. I am presently pursuing an AA in comp sci.

Honestly any advice would be awesome and greatly appreciated.
