Do you have experience? What have you been doing since 2008? People who have problems getting interviews are often expecting too much. In my experience it really helps to work for almost nothing for a year or so just to get some professional experience and from there employers will take you far more seriously. If you don't have much experience you're unlikely to get noticed over someone with a year or two experience. Really you should have been looking for odd jobs at university when you don't have dependencies and a lifestyle to afford. But it's not too late, I'm sure there are small business / individuals who would love you to build a software tool or a website for them for free or a little thank you cash. If you can do this on evenings and weekends for a bit you'll be able to fill out your CV with experince and demonstrate you're able to deliver. Another thing I've found employers like is having a few lines about some personal project. Do you have any interesting (hopefully related) tech projects you've been working on or contributing too? These are also great to talk about in the interview to show your passions. Generally employers are looking for someone with a track record and a passion for what they do. If you can show those two things you should have no problem getting an interview. The interview itself will then mostly just be expanding on the experience outlined on your CV and assessing if you're going to be a good fit culturally.
