People around me think that I am talented: my former professors, classmates, even my friends. Some of the people I met in university still ask me to advise them about their research papers even after I've completed my Computer Science degree. Recently I've even received a message from my professor that my research paper was chosen to be presented internationally. Sounds good doesn't it.
The problem is I can't land a job. I've been searching for almost seven months. I always get feedback about my applications and I've also tried going to seminars, attending training, and taking free online courses to enhance my skills. I'm frustrated because I think I'd do well in industry.
What can I do to make myself a more attractive candidate?

Where are you located? Have you talked with your university's placement office? Have you gotten interviews? I don't see how anyone here can guess why you haven't found a job yet. Maybe you aren't looking at entry level jobs? Maybe you are spending too much time in seminars and training and not enough time searching? Could be anything.

I'm located in the Philippines. No I didn't talk to my university about my problem. and yes I've got an interview. I'm always looking for a job actually i also trying to apply as a trainee for some company and talk to a american manager the next day is my application is denied. The problem that I'm thinking is maybe I don't have an expertise so here am I studying some web development, thinking about data analytics and for the business analyst roles
