Re:Missing something (Score 3, Informative)

I have to second this statement. I'm also a student graduating in May. I have had four job offers. No matter what anyone says about a recession there are always opportunities in any economy. Three of my four offers came from social networking, the first two came from simply chatting up some guys I met at a conference, while the third came from a friend of one of my professors. The fourth offer is a government agency. If your having trouble finding people to meet, I would say try getting to any sort of industry conference you can. It can be pretty pricey but there are often student rates, and you almost always meet developers at conferences, not the HR staffers. Just talk to people, ask them about what they do, and see where it goes from there. It worked for me. Three times.
