You should apply for some positions then!
If you don't end up with the job, maybe ask if you could work for free. Just like, 3 hours a day for two days a week, or something. You'll be able to show them what you're capable of, you'll learn a lot, and when they need to hire for a position they'll already know you, and what you're capable of.
