A junior level position for a skilled worker usually requires at least an undergraduate degree, which is four years of training. If you aren't getting a CS degree, you're still perfectly eligible to get a position, but that doesn't mean you get to skip the training. The tech you need to learn for a junior position can easily be learned in an equivalent four years, and if you're committed you can probably learn it in a year or less. That's a hell of a lot better than the situation for other skilled workers.

If you want real advice for getting an entry-level position, it's actually quite simple. Step one: build things. This will help you develop the necessary skills to contribute to a team. Step two: tell people about them. The majority of job openings are filled through referrals and networking; sending in resumes to job postings online is a very inefficient use of your time.
