Getting an Entry-Level Job

So, I've passed all my exams at the university this year and I've tried to get an entry-level job.  I've applied to a few computer firms in Osijek, but I got rejected. I suppose most of it has to do with my GitHub profile. What do you think, how can I make myself look better to the hirers?
I must say I am quite a bit surprised. I thought very few junior programmers could make a PacMan game, yet alone a program that converts arithmetic expression to assembly, and that getting an entry-level job won't be a problem.

Without knowing why they rejected you, it's kind of hard to advise you - perhaps they simply didn't have entry level jobs available.  Maybe providing samples of your work would help.

If nothing else seems to help (and if you can afford it) offer to work for free for a few weeks, sort of an unpaid internship.  Offers to work for no money really make employers sit up and take notice.
