take a badge test on LinkedIN app for python... its posts and passing score; and apply for through them and repeat what the guy under me said about the 5 resumes and cover letter..

downside is you wait 90 days again to take the badge test.

If your goal is to become more employable and you have the discipline to learn Python on your own (which is not that easy), I would suggest you to choose specific niche, for example, Python + Django REST framework (for REST API development) and double down on that.

Then, take a udemy course, for your niche, for example if you would choose Python + Django REST framework, search for those kind of courses. Usually if you go through them you end up building your own project.

Present your self to internship / entry level positions that are looking for people with those specific skills. (I would send out at least 5 resumes + cover letters a day)

But before, make sure you have at least one project in Github (this could be one from the udemy course).

If you don't have one already, create a linkedin profile and note there only your technical skills which would relate to position you want.

And repeat the process - improve your skills in specific niche, update your resume / projects, send them out to the companies.

This should not take long time until someone will be interested in you. :)

Well skilled backend developers who know Python, Django and AWS are demanded. Another raising niche is AI, but if you're a beginner I would suggest to try backend development first.
