Find a few job posts you really like: can be building website, frontend/backend, mobile app or C++ QT App - instead of just sending them resume. Convert those job post to a project you LOVE to do personally, try also make it part of class/school/open source project.

Spend a few weeks/months work on that. Publish it on github, show it on HN, ask for feedbacks, improve it and put that/them on your resume.
