Keep in mind: For entry-level / junior positions, they're hiring you for things other than 'what you know'. They're hiring for attitude, for your ability to learn, for culture-fit, for the positive energy you bring to the team, etc.
While building up your technical skill-set is admirable (and not a waste of your time at all), I would make sure you polish these other intangible qualities as well.
In other words: Learn how to make an awesome first impression, and you'll be able to land an entry-level job regardless of your skillset.
