That's generally good advice. Another thing I can recommend is to learn to market yourself and your work. Getting a job is, in a way, selling yourself. You have to convince the potential employer that parting with his/her money for your time is a bargain. This is a mix of persuasion, presentation, and communication. A few mock interviews with someone who knows the ropes, some time spent on your appearance and speech would help a lot. I landed a job in 2000 right out of college even though I had a CGPA below the cut off just because of how I was able to talk myself into an interview and then impress the interviewer.
