<p>Are any of your friends employed? Can you plan to go visit them for a week or two and bring your interview suit and a batch of resumes? That’s how I got my first job. I went down to visit my college roommate in DC, went to a bunch of temp agencies to see if there were any long term temp possibilities, and then met someone at a party who worked at a non-profit that was hiring…it was an assistant position, but it gave me a start. It was not my employment plan, but I graduated in a recession as well, and I was relieved that something interesting presented itself when I needed it. Good luck. It sounds like you have really made yourself marketable…now you just need to be in the right place at the right time.</p>
