I failed miserably when they gave me a math portion, but they still hired me, because I knew the language and I was good at logic.
Anyways, you might want to try a job site like https://codefights.com/jobs https://codefights.com/jobs in which they test you on your coding skills.
I would also suggest getting together whatever projects you have worked on and your portfolio and resume.
Aside from that, I highly, highly recommend you go back to the college you graduated from and see a career counselor. Why do I recommend this? They can likely help you with your interview skills and personality. (Believe it - a sense of humor helps)
I'm convinced that personality plays a huge role in helping with the hiring process, and since you claim you fail the communication portion of your interview, it may be that you just need some help with your people skills.
While GPA matters slightly, a good personality can probably explain yourself out of why that isn't important in who you are.
Additional advice:
- Make sure you have nice clothes to wear to the interview with a nice pair of shoes. (hopefully a strong resemblance to what you will be wearing and feel comfortable in, business casual)
- Make sure your hygiene is on par along with a nice smelling cologne (if you know any women at all, ask them if they could come shopping with you or find a woman at the store -- the clerk who will likely be standing near the cologne / perfume section -- and ask her for an appropriate "business casual cologne")
- Make sure you appear confident (even if you have to spend hours in front of the mirror practicing)
