You may want to specialize. Not many companies hire "Programmers". They mostly hire "$LANG Programmers" but that's fine because you can learn many values of $LANG.

So if you want an ASP.NET, NodeJS, or C# job then learn ASP.NET, NodeJS, or C#.

The trick is to specialize in something you're actually excited about, so that you can become proficient.

1. Learn ASP.NET (build projects, do free work, whatever).

2. Change your resume to say "ASP.NET Programmer".

3. Apply for ASP.NET jobs.

4. Ace ASP.NET interviews.
