Startups are easier to land your first job unless you have visa situation. Focus on the tech you are most excited about and apply with a very good resume and cover letter . That has usually worked for me in past.
You need some projects or experience on the resume. As soon as you have that you’ll start hearing back. If you can look for junior roles, if the only places your applying to is fang then good luck. You should try looking for local companies to gain some experience and start branching out. Most new grads I would say have some sort of internship experience before graduation. If you can’t find a place start working on side projects
I had a internship which I rebuild this company internal applications along with another developer. I have a few freelance web dev but most of those sites are Wordpress and people look down when I say I used Wordpress for the sites
Yeah I wouldn’t mention Wordpress in an interview. Maybe your just not displaying your skills in the right way, rework your resume?
