This tells me you're wasting your time and potential. There are other ways to get a job.

They didn't request it, I just didn't have any direct professional experience with React/Redux or the Python ecosystem, which are the lion's share of front-end positions in my area. I've gotten a lot of immediate 'passes' from recruiters unfortunately.

Thanks for your reply though, I agree with you but then I run into reality and the need to pay bills.
