try the alumni association of your school. If those people have jobs, someone should be able to help you out.

This is a tough time to be graduating and seeking employment. Don’t get discouraged. Take advantage of any career services your college or university might provide. Make sure you have a current resume posted and active (searchable) on some major job boards like Monster or Dice.
If all else fails, go back and get an advanced degree.

Here’s a guess: if you are using some program or model for your resume you might be getting screened out by programs that search for standard formats, keywords, etc.
Employers often believe they get too many resumes from unqualified people.
In your field creativity would be a big plus — finding your own unique way to communicate your potential will prove you can do the job. I don’t believe you are in a profession where experience trumps talent.
Also focusing on a job that allows you to develop your skills is vital, even if it means you work for some non-profit or some such for a year or two (not longer or business people will think you don’t understand private enterprise).

Before you graduated with your degree, did you have any companies in miind that you plan to work at? If not,, then start searching. Perform informational interviews with someone in that company. Talk to someone who works there that you would like to get some information from that company and that person’s background. Maybe he or she have an idea of where to work. Once you finish that informational interview, you already got a contact for that company. Continue informational interviewing until there is an opening at one of the companies that you choose. Chances are that you will be hired. Good luck.

Have you thought about teaching Engish overseas? Go to daveseslcafe.com for a listing of jobs. It is very easy to find work, many companies are looking for people, and some are quite desperate. There is a lot of work in China, for just one example–especially with the Olympics coming.
Email me if you want to know about Taiwan. This is my fourth year, and I’m loving it. (I don’t get paid and I’m not a recruiter, by the way).

Its that old double standard. Places want you to have that degree, then they also want you to have 5 years experience. How are you suppose to have the experience if you have been going to school for the past 3-4 years for a degree?
You just have to keep trying until you find that right place willing to take in the new guy with no acutal “on the job experience” and give him a chance.
Good luck – something will break sooner or later and you will land a job.

Look for graduate position jobs – with a lot of those positions, it doesn’t matter what you have graduated in, just that you have graduated with a degree.
Look for jobs with the government.
Put your application in everywhere you can – also, if there is anywhere close to you that you can take your resume and have someone look over it to make sure its set out right, and if there is anything you can do to adjust it – because you might just need to tweak it a little bit depending on the type of positions that you are applying for and it may be that you are just missing something.
Good luck with getting a job, because I understand how hard it is because I am also searching at the moment and its not easy when places won’t give you a look in because of lack of experience etc.
