Your first job is definitely the hardest to get in your entire career. I wrote a few words of advice about this [0].

The summary of my advice is:

* Don't "spray and pray" your application, but look for companies that fit your tech preferences and specifically hire for junior devs.

* Prepare for the interview process. That can be as easy as asking the recruiter what questions you can expect in the interview (often they spill the beans without thinking)

* Build, build, build. The best way to show them you can in fact deliver is by having at least one up-and-running side project, the code on Github, etc. Give them something to look at even if you think it's not terribly impressive.
