Being a SAS programmer I understand how it feels to be new in the market when you know SAS but don't have the experience, which is the most important thing which gets counted in programming.
Once you are good with your SAS skills, I would suggest you to appear for SAS certification in Base atleast and its great to have advance certification.
Then put a certification logo provided by SAS institute on your resume this will make your resume stand out from your competitors.
As per my experience with interviews, the interviewer generally gives you a scenario about a certain data and tell you to give a desired output out of the data. Then you need to explain what steps you will use in completing the task.
Now here is the trick you should be very confident with the process you will use to extract the required data, interviewer will try to confuse you with saying that can't you use this functions to complete the task, here you should explain them why did you used this method.
You should be able to explain why you used the given logic by you to get required data.
Be prepared before appearing for the interview, don't get confused and trapped by the interviewer.
I think if you follow the above process you will be able to get a SAS job, this is my personal experience.
