There's a lot of good advice here, but to add - this is a very tough job market and probably will be for the next year. Freelancing is another entry point and it'll teach you a lot about shipping features/products. Take small jobs initially and scale outwards. Obviously you can't charge top dollar but I recommend listing your hourly rate at slightly below market and then during the negotiation giving a discount to try and seal the deal. If you find yourself being forced to do very low priced/almost-free work, keep the projects really small to limit being exploited but still being able to build your initial resume.
