0. Fill out your HN profile. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and your situation. 1. Go to your university's career center and get help. Find out what career fairs you can attend at your own university or other universities. Talk to everyone there, companies and fellow job hunters. Exchange information and stories. Don't just send job applications through the university job board. 2. Start socializing. Join a coworking space and talk to people, find out what they're working on and help them for free (for a short time) and prove your worth. Tell anyone who is willing to listen that you're looking for work. Sites like Reddit and Twitter are great resources - go to meetups (any kind, even social ones!) or join Toastmasters to meet other people. Make new contacts and help them; they will help you back. 3. If you're really looking for any kind of work, then find a job in retail or part-time in any field and look for work all the time. Or start a small business to keep yourself busy and motivated. It does not have to be a technology-related! Freelance on odesk or even Fiverr. It will keep you going until you find full-time work. Talk to customers and mention that you are looking for work! Remember that business always comes down to people. Lastly, don't feel guilty about your parents' investment in your education, they wanted to help you so that you could be successful. I know because I'm in a similar situation - my parents paid my tuition except for a loan. I graduated and couldn't find work - then I got sick; they repaid my loan and have supported me (and housed me) while my health improves. Good luck and remember to thank your parents when you are successful. Check out Charlie Hoehn's e-book [0], it has lots of good advice and things to try out.
