And when you can do that and still don't get a job?

Add to the list :

Good job hunting skills
Good interviewing skills
Good resume writing skills

Apply below traits to above skills:

Persistence
Flexibility
Creativity

What you know does no good if the people who need to know don't know you that you know.

I've yet to do this myself, but the best advice sounds like having some software to demo at the interview or at least source code/screen shots of something you've did.
