Oh my, it sounds as though you've been doing all of the right things (even going well above and beyond). Getting a foot in the door is difficult early in your career, but it shouldn't be this difficult. I feel as though the tech interview process these days is broken, like really broken. I recently went through a number of interviews where I felt as though I was jumping through flaming hoops, and I've been in this industry for twenty years!?

In the past, I always had a knack for knowing where I stood after an interview, but now I'm not so sure. I would end an interview and feel like "Yeah, I nailed that" and also get untimely rejection emails. I'd ask for feedback, but that never comes, it seems. Keep your head up; your passion and determination will hopefully yield results sooner than later.
