Ask HN: How can a junior dev stand out in this market?

Let's assume that: - You're a junior dev with 1.5 years of exp and you got laid off. - Cold applying used to yield interviews but not anymore without having changed the contents of the resume. - You're still unemployed after 6-9 months. - Your work experience is centered around React, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript. - You have a CS degree. - You're not afraid to pivot and learn new skills. (New programming languages, tech stack, etc...) - You don't have to worry about paying bills. (You didn't move out of your parents' home yet) What would you invest your time in?
