I found my last job on craigslist. I looked there on a whim and found something perfect. I have seen several junior positions listed there. Give it a shot!

Start applying for jobs that you know you aren't completely qualified for as well - sometimes that will get HR's attention as they move it over to the correct bin and they'll contact you merely for showing initiative. If you're lucky, they'll run it by the manager of the department that you'll (hopefully) end up working for and they'll contact you directly.

Another thing that you should do if you haven't already is start ignoring the minimum experience bit in the requirements, because even HR knows that that's an impractical requirement for an entry-level position. If it asks for 5 years experience and they bring it up in the interview, simply state that you naturally assumed your college experience would count towards that, because otherwise why would they want minimum experience?

Are there any local user groups? They can be a good mine.

You might have messed up the behavioral. Thats why they stopped contacting you

/u/captbrogers already mentioned one part but I'm replying here so you'll see it...

Definitely look into area user groups (MeetUp usually has a bunch). This is an amazing place to network. There will be recruiters. There will be hiring managers there that are networking. There will also be other devs there who may just happen to know about open positions at their companies. I've even seen people advertise open positions at their employer during these meetings. Worst case, you'll learn about something new/cool if it's a good group.

Just being at that group can give you a foot in the door. You're spending your free time learning more about development, and that's a good thing to see in a potential hire. Also, there's nothing wrong with going through a recruiter to get a job. It can be kind of annoying at times but it's a lot better than being unemployed. If you do that go route, make sure you work with a technical recruiter. A generic one is going to be absolutely useless at finding you jobs you're qualified for or would be interested in.

A good place to start might be with your college's alumnus resources department. The department computer science in was at your university might also have job placement assistance available. Go check their office. Another good resource are your friends and acquaintances from college. Especially in today's job market who you know is in many ways more important than what you know. Aside from all of that setup a site and host some projects demonstrating your skills.

What type of jobs? Also, have you gone to your school's career services? They usually will help recent grads a lot.

Try to apply directly on companies' sites if possible. Sometimes it's just more reliable or opens more doors. Keep changing your resume to highlight different skills, or have a few different ones based on what type of position you're looking for (one for web backend, one for web frontend, one for other programming). Also take this time do anything to enhance your resume and skills, like mock interviews or personal projects or getting certificates.

Or even contributing to popular OSS projects, if possible. That shit is like a gold star on your resume.
