    Hi Eve,

    Finding a new job can be rough at any stage of a career.  The best things I can suggest are to take advantage of any networks you can.  If you are a member of SWE you can start there.  They have a career center online, and networking at their annual conference is a great place to begin.  Also check to see if the university you are attending or the one you graduated from have a career center that can help.  Universities have a large stake in making sure their alums can find gainful employment.  If you aren't able to find anything quickly, don't let your skills lag.  Look into a volunteer position if you have to.  It will keep you from having a large gap in your resume, and may just lead to your next job lead.  Good luck.
