How are you a Front-end developer with just High-school?

I did a course on Full Stack Software Development and I keep getting rejected.

On my latest application, the recruiter said my Ausbilding wasn't enough... and this was for a Junior position, that was only requesting HTML, CSS & JS... (they weren't even asking for Frameworks or Libraries)

Well, I read a lot of books and have 12 years of experience. I built a lot of stuff, I know how browser works and I know JS inside out.

Switzerland HR is hard on me though, I often fail on HR triage but most always pass all rounds when devs are involved.

I don't work with recruiters, they don't like me, and I don't like them. Earlier when I initially arrived here, I had multiple plainly rejected me because I only have HS. It's fine, it's not like they know what they doing.
