Programming jobs of all types

I think i've spent the last two years trying to find a entry level developer job.. I have gotten a few call backs, but no bites. I'm constantly trying to improve my skills, and can honestly recognize that i'm a very hard worker. I've re done my resume about 10 times, and have projects i've made ready to show case. I'm not sure if i'm just super unlucky or maybe it's just that tough these days, but does anyone know of any companies that hire remote, but don't post any job listings? It seems like the companies that do post job listings don't actually want to hire anyone. I'm just getting to a point where i'm losing all motivation in this industry, and it really bums me out. I truthfully love programming, and would do anything just to get a chance to work for a company. At this point i'm willing to work for a company for a reasonably low salary.. I'm just trying to get my foot in the door.

quick note: I'm not only looking for remote work. I'm also looking for work locally as well.
