I would recommend trying for junior web design roles, freelance web design, or reach out to staffing agencies for contract roles. All of these have lower barrier to entry than UX Design right now (based on how competitive UX design has been lately). Web design is part of the UX Design umbrella and you'd be building transferrable skills plus job experience.
With the staffing agencies, they are able to find more roles than you can find on your own, especially as a junior UX designer. Some staffing agencies that come to mind are Vitamin T, Robert Half, Creative Circle, and Wimmer Solutions, but there are more out there.
While you're job hunting and waiting to connect with opportunities, try to add more case studies to your portfolio (as many as you're able to think of, covering a variety of use cases and industries) and refining the projects you already have. You can also continue learning about mobile design standards and digital accessibility for example, and apply these learnings to your case studies.
It feels like most junior UX design portfolios have a "standard" 2-3 projects (seems to be a pattern amongst recent bootcamp graduates), so having more projects can help you stand out. Best of luck!!!
Thank you so much for your detailed response! I’ll take a look at web design roles and reach out to the staffing agencies you mentioned. I have quite a lot of projects I can put on my portfolio, just been waiting for my job to complete so I have more time to do it. :) I appreciate the advice immensely
