I finished my bachelors in CS at a state school while working in an unrelated field. I couldn't get a job programming a VCR out of school. My school was not prestigious. I had no idea how to interview. This was over a decade ago now. I got a job working telephone tech support for a networking company, hardly worth my time. Nearly two years later i got a job as a data analyst through a friend of a friend, working in SQL server and writing VB6 apps. I should have spent some time researching and contacting companies while I was a junior and senior in college. I figured, like the OP, champagne would rain down from the heavens when I left school. It did not. But there is hope. Keep plodding forward. What I learned in college has helped me through the years and it does still look good on the resume.
