It depends on a lot of things, like for example -- in what kind of company do you want to work and on what kind of things do you want to work.

I'm a dropout and I believe a portfolio is really helpful. Get a showcase together of some of the stuff that you've built and show that you're passionate about what you do. Especially because it's your first job you're going to have to be creative to get past HR if you're targeting a bigger company. Another thing you can try is to see if you can get an internship in a company. This way you can check whether you actually are good enough and there is a high possibility that you'll be hired if you do a good job.

Also, get a LinkedIn profile up with accurate information.
