I'm not sure how well this advice translates. I found my first job (as a teenager) by scouring craigslist. I sent my resume probably to 3 or 4 hundred companies over the course of a few weeks. Finally, I found one that didn't want a resume but wanted me to complete a project instead. I spent a few hours working on that, submitted it, and got called back -- they didn't care I was a teenager and paid me $23/hr on a contract. This was fantastic money, since the other places I was looking at were places like subway and best buy.

So again, not sure how well the advice translates to your area -- but try looking for places that ask for coding samples or projects instead of resumes.
