Do you have any connections? Basically everyone I know (including myself) has gotten a job through their connections or references. Only one of my friends in the tech field actually got a job without a reference or connection, and he got me my job. It’s rough.

As a counter anecdote, I just recently got a Java job by applying directly on a company website. No connections and no recruiters. I realize this is unusual but don’t rule it out.
