I've had a very hard time finding a new job given that my current job doesn't use any kind of "tooling" or outside libraries to get things done, other than rather obscure and domain specific ones (e.g. libgps). Ideally I'd like to pivot to web development given that I have some hobbyist experience with it, but I'm not very good at "specific frameworks".
If someone were to ask me to sit down and write something in React/Vue.js/whatever on the first interview, I don't think I could without the docs or a tutorial available. I can write JS just fine, I can't write any specific framework, even though I have the mental model and concepts behind how they work and how to use them. So when I see a job that specifically asks for e.g. React, I just don't apply. Same story with companies that ask for Django rather than the more generic "Python web development experience". I could pick up Django within two weeks if you hired me. I know what it is and what MV(C) is. Isn't that enough?
