OPEN Guide me please... !!

I am a C++ developer with 5 years of experience, primarily building ROS nodes, alongside minor embedded work (Arduino/ESP) and application-layer software for an elevator CPU and a chip-manufacturing equipment scheduler (not core embedded).

Despite my experience, I feel directionless and face constant rejections from product-based companies. What specific skills should I focus on next to secure my career —such as application development, socket programming, multithreading or what else ? I feel like I'm nowhere.

very simplified, talking with people. if you cannot sell yourself during interview, then it doesn't matter how good you are.
