Have you done a placement? Call those contacts and ask for recommendations. Then call those recommendations and if they have nothing available ask if they have contacts you can call. Relevant people in your CS department probably have a network as well. You could call a computing department or tutors in nearby educational establishments and explain you’re interested in job opportunities in that area and ask for contacts.

You might end up for example talking to someone from a business organisation who can put your cv in front of a members meeting and those are good leads, that worked for me.

Your attitude, determination and ability to learn matter more, the CS degree gets you past the requirements stage.

CVs with expertise in too many technologies not backed up by work can be suspicious, keep the ones you have anecdotal talking points for or are your strengths.

Good luck
