I have recruited quite a few grads over the years and if you are like the majority of those (and I was) then I'd recommend:

1) Properly understanding what motivates yourself. What were the key parts of past jobs and activities that made you forget the time of day, do it for free, enjoyable.

2) Seek jobs with lots of the parts identified in 1) that you are confident you can be _bloody_ good at and people will pay you enough for.

3) When you apply for those jobs; apply for the job - tell the recruiter that you have read their advert, what it is that motivates you and that you are worth them spending time on.

For life in general; keep learning.

You'll be fine, but good luck anyway
