Are you able to show them your personal projects? It's possible that the stuff your applying for has a load of applicants, in which case you may find plenty of applicants with more targeted experience that may cause those hiring not to look much further. My experience watching friends apply is that grad positions are quiet hard to get into. Maybe you could look for a job that has .NET plus the opportunity to move into other languages down the track, from your post though it sounds like you don't really want to do that. Maybe in the interim you could roll your own project that does show off your skills in another area, best case it might take off in it's own right, worst case you have something pretty good for the resume.
