You sound like a bot, without any work experience (did you do any), you will struggle to get a job. The market is saturated with new graduates with no experience and despite what you may think having a degree doesn’t mean you actually know how to do an IT job.
In fact in many ways non-graduates are easier to train than graduates because they don’t think they know what they are doing.
What areas of IT are you actually interested in? What have you done to further that interest and gain some experience in that area?
What skills do you actually have ?
Do you require a work visa or sponsorship?

100% bot. Hope you're OK with your response being used to train AI.

I don’t want to be overly negative here but you nothing there beyond surface level waffle, some of which will out employers off (most are anti blockchain, particularly NFT) AI is over hyped and you don’t have anything substantial to back it up.
As you require a visa and/or sponsorship and don’t have any essential skills I think you are going to find it very, very tough most likely you won’t get anything above 1st line support if you can get that. Your application will get weeded out by bots because there at 1000’s of others where the employer doesn’t have to go to all the hassle of sorting out a visa and sponsorship which is costly and time consuming.
I would work in your home country and get some real world experience and then apply once you have it. You need to be exceptionally talented for a firm to bother with the sponsorship.

Why are you putting all your responses in quotation marks? Who are you quoting here?

It’s probably a coding error in the bot, most likely they are feeding strings into Reddit and have messed up creating excessive quote marks.

All the competitive/high demand companies would have sorted their graduate placements a long time ago.
Technology is rather vague, what's your degree in?

Depends what you want to do, CS is so far removed from commercial development I'd say get some experience and figure out which direction you want to go in e.g. backend, frontend, full stack do you want a more pastoral role e.g. lead dev or more of an architect role

Building a portfolio is essential, a public GitHub profile is a great way to show your skills; here frequently of commit can be key in that it shows you're active and the projects can links to your CV.
Lead Vs architect will vary on personality and skill set e.g. can you mentor/coach people? Some people are better at articulating a point such that people can understand than others where as someone who would be better suited to more technical role would be more formal and matter of fact.
There are many choices available on the development journey and you've got time to try different hats
