I am not a dev but there is obviously a supply vs demand problem or you would at least be getting a single interview.

There is also a marketing problem in that everyone thinks they have to do the same thing to stand out but if you are doing the same thing as everyone else then you are doing the opposite of standing out.

At one point in my career when I was struggling to get interviews, I gave up and decided the jobs available to me are the ones my friends can help me get. You will amaze yourself with how much more effort you put into your network when you take the internet posting jobs off the table.

There is also much to be said for being able to program but doing something else besides pure software engineer.
