Applying for my first junior gig but getting 0 response. Is this because no one is hiring or is there something else I can do to get them to open my email/visit my site? Any help would be great.

January will be better, but unfortunately this industry is about knowing people. Find anyone you’re even distantly connected to and ask them to coffee. You’ll have more luck that way.

I'm in the same boat. You should at least be getting "sorry we don't have abything"s though. Keep your emails short and to the point. Say what you like about their work, ask to buy them a coffee. If they're creatives ask then to look at something you like in your book. Just keep spreading that web of connections, come January something will stick.

Hang in there! We were all juniors once. Try messaging people on LinkedIn who you have a connection to (mutual friend, went to same college, etc) and see if they'd be willing to do an informal chat? Can get your foot in the door.

Agree with the "know someone" advice. And honestly most people will refer you even if they don't know you well so they get the referral bonus.

Also make sure your subject line is clear about who you are and what you want do it doesn’t get tossed out as junk.

Take the holiday to beef up your site as well. A lot of portfolios out there so be really creative about your creative
