Yeah, I'd probably revisit HOW you're marketing yourself. Your hit rate should be much better than virtually 0 out of 100. Generally, from my 5 years of experience since college, if I'm not getting responses it's because I need to refine my resume, punch up my cover letter, or tweak my LinkedIn profile. In your case it will also be very advantageous to complete some of your open source projects. Working products is critical. Try to make sure that your repo is essentially a showcase for your abilities. If your repo is filled with unfinished stuff, or other crud then you'll want to clean it out and make it presentable. The other tip I picked up somewhere is to try and exercise your intelligence by determining who the hiring manager and/or HR representative is for the company, dig up their email, and email them your resume and cover letter directly. When you do this make sure you convey poise, and confidence (without being arrogant), and illustrate why you think you're a good fit for their position (without being overly verbose). Good luck!
