I do not have any previous projects that I can show because we were not allowed to take home any work. If they want to test my skills, I can take aptitude and programming tests.

But these wont probably be enough...hmm hmm
Sounds like you should try to get a similar job. Worth contacting/going to some more specialist agencies if possible, what languages have you experience in programing in?

Try websites like www.theregister.co.uk may give you some ideas.

Can you work on any projects while looking. I know this is not always easy due to the complexity of software to do.

You may not get your ideal job at first thats the same anywhere. Does the Firm you work for have a UK office?
