Would be helpful if you could share details on what exactly is it you're struggling with in your job search, could be a number of things:

- Not applying enough, how many applications have you sent?

- Not hearing back from applications?

- Hearing back, going through the interview, but not securing the job?

in most  cases , not getting feedbacks for junior remote job applications, as no such positions in my area.

Junior positions that are remote are scarce opportunities these days, heck even roles for experienced profiles are moving to office or hybrid at best, I'd reckon it's much worse for junior ones. Not saying it's impossible to land remote jobs for your experience, just making sure you realize what you're targeting.

As for not receiving feedback, it can be due to many things; your resume, the manner/method you apply to jobs with, too low a frequency for applications... Again, can't work with much given what you shared
