As a junior Python dev myself, these things proved invaluable: - Building a good resume. This will be different form someone with more experience but creating a nice looking, well edited resume that focuses on the qualities @MalcomDiggs highlighted. - Network. Go to Meetups, find out if there is a startup week or something similar in your area. This is very helpful for finding jobs and gives you a chance to meet and learn form more experienced people. - Don't make job sites your only avenue of search. I have had extremely poor results with them and have had far more luck with HN jobs postings. - As for technical skills learning at least one framework is probably a good idea. There are tons of them to choose from in Python but learning at least one pretty well will make learning other ones easier. You should be familiar with PEP-8, data structures, yield vs return, comprehensions and a good handle on the built ins. Having a strong grasp on the fundamentals will make learning easier.
