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.
