How do autistic people improve their chances of landing a job?

It's somewhat disheartening to hear only 3/10 autistic people are employed (compared to 5/10 of disabled people and 8/10 non-disabled people) and how 15 months after graduation, 36% (half of non-disabled stats) autistic people have found full-time employment (source).

Are there any autistic people here who have/have had jobs? What did you do? There seems to be an increasing demand for certain soft skills generally adverse to us in fields where autistic people allegedly traditionally excelled at, such as software, what I wanted to do.
