If you have already a CS degree and you spend a couple months refreshing your memory, you would be amazed what codebases you can touch.

They won't let you touch it. I've sent out more than 100 resumes and got in at only two despite having a bachelor + master in CS. The one company that I got in severely underpaid me. This is in NL and I might be an outlier, but I'm beginning to see a problem. I also applied (in secret) when I got the job, my odds didn't improve.

Send me a copy of your resume, check the profile.

Although NL might be a place where there isn't a lot of programming market, I'd be willing to bet the resume needs a bit of work.

Most probably there's something else very wrong with your resume. The job being in high demand, your foot-in-the-door rate should be much higher.
