Consider Interning

With the job market for new grads being very limited, new grads need to strongly consider interning. Companies are leaner than they've ever been and, in many industries, have less employees doing a lot more work than before. In the right situations, they will be open to taking on highly motivated recent graduates in internship positions. An internship well done could lead to actual employment opportunities with the same company, and if not, you'll still gain invaluable real-world experience.
