At what stage do you fail? Do you have issues getting interviews?

Recently, I'm failing at finding listings that seem to be a match.
Friends have urged me to simply apply for random jobs even if I'm missing experience in particular frameworks.
I've been reluctant to do so. Instead, I've been looking for:
(a) Junior positions that I'm clearly qualified for
(b) Positions at firms that are seeking generalists
(c) Positions where I'd be able to use the special skills that I do possess
I'll probably need to build connections over time for this to work out. In the interim, a non-tech position might be the way to go.
