As a self taught front end developer, I got my first job as a paid internship after narrowly missing out on the original job the interview was for. It's an odd story, but it worked out none the less. Personal connections helped a bit too, especially since my second job was gotten purely because I knew someone working at the company (well, running the company) and it turned out they were hiring for the exact job I needed.
