I'm on the other side of the fence compared to most of you. Still trying to land my first job so unfortunately most recruiters don't respond to my emails.
God luck, I graduated in the dot com bust in 2001, and had a year and a half before I got a full time job. It can be hard, but what helped for me was doing some poorly paid temporary jobs (one job was testing and was paid reasonably). Once I had some experience on my CV, recruiters actually started to look at it.
