Have you looked at contracting/consulting firms? You still have to interview there, but then they'll assign you to contracts. Depending on the contract terms, the client may be able to hire you out of the contract, or not, if that's something that would be useful to you.

I have applied to consulting firms, although just sparingly in the past. Didn't put a hard focus on them.

Several months ago, I sent cold applications to two software developer positions at Deloitte, and one at Infosys. They were all rejected as saying I did not meet qualifications for these positions or simply were "not moving forward".
