Figure out what you're most passionate about / good at and find a company that needs more of that.
For me its front end web development. I know alot of it off of the top of my head and/or where to figure out answers if I don't know.
For the backend and more CS oriented stuff (data structures and algorithms and beyond) I still can't do that well myself but I am working on it. I ended up finding a company that could use help on the html, css, javascript side so I found a good home, though.
And lastly don't let failure deter you. Even if one company isn't a good fit it doesn't mean they all won't be
