Well of course, create an impressive resume. There are websites all over the internet that will give you very good examples…the fact that you graduated from university will look pretty impressive :)

Just send it anywhere you can think of…even places that haven’t put out any ads for new employees. You never know when a job opportunity might pop up..or where! But just send your resume to any business you can think of, because if you don’t like the place (after going in for an interview), you don’t have to say yes to the job offer if you get one. The more interviews you get, the more choices you have :)
I hope I worded that correctly (it’s early!)–but I do hope it made some sense.

Also! You could make a list of businesses and their phone numbers and just call them up and try to sell yourself to them. Alot of people might say no, but you only need one person to say yes!

And if you know of some businesses that are related to the field of your degree, then you could try really hard to get a job there! But be completely willing to start at the bottom..they may offer you the lowest job there, but you should take it, because they might want to test your work ethic and skills before they hire you in a higher spot :) But you’d definitely have your foot in the door if you got ANY job at a business related to your degree.

I hope this is the kind of help you were looking for. I have some major experience in jobsearching because I spent almost six months looking for one myself! So I learned all kinds of tricks and methods along the way.
