Agents will get you a JS/nodejs job incredibly fast if you are willing to work anywhere. They lie a lot about the post to you and about you to the people hiring, partly because they're non-technical and partly because they only care about their commission. You don't even have to smash the interview, you just need to know your language.

When after 5 years, u cant fully understand linux and someone wants to learn it in 2 days.
Found this somewhere, not only for concept, i just do it everytime 😂
For everybody who's had to start job hunting for their first real programming job, I have a few questions.
Is starting to apply for jobs 4-5 months ahead a good idea or is it better to wait it out with a 2-3 month time frame? I'm graduating in June 2019.
Is it better to apply for jobs with a search field of "junior developer" or to be more specific like "Jr Java web dev/Jr node.js"?
I know a lot of job descriptions are just company wishlists and not real indicators of skill. I have enough job experience to know how that part of the world works.
My aim is to try for Chicago(go Cubs) or New England, maybe Boston or NYC. I'd say I have a better shot with Chicago being just a 4 hour drive from home base. But, you never know. This is my first real shot at a job in this field so I'm trying to keep my expectations in check.
Hopefully I can get something to work before rumblings of the 2020 election start in my home state. 🙄
