Yes exactly, I am getting shortlisted now after i re-structured my resume & portfolio in a way that shows my enthusiasm & potential, & prepare for interviews nicely coz communicating your ideas & thought process will only show your talent/potential. Also leveraging your design certificate/degree (if u have one), & ur B.tech degree (if u have one )can also help as a fresher.Learning basics of front-end can also give you an edge over the others.
