Totally right, I spent 8 months job hunting right out of college, my fiance is at a year and a half. She has a masters degree, study abroad, and many internships... Noone is hiring! Either she doesn't have enough experience, or she is overqualified and they won't hire her! I only got the job I have basically because I knew someone who put in a word for me.
Ok, being serious here. There are plenty of jobs, there are just no one offering them on the job boards anymore.
Job boards are expensive, they get you swamped with thousands of resumes mostly of unqualified people.
And if your career placement services are like mine, (I graduated from a top 30 school) they don't how to write a modern resume or help you with any of this. Last 2 semesters in college, I used their resume, 3 interviews out of about 60 submitted. Got a real currently working professional to review it (not a resume person, but just a professional person in my family) and I re wrote it. 60% phone interview/onsite offer rate. You will need to update your resume to the new standard, not the old one which everyone still has.
LinkedIn is your friend here. When I started looking I interviewed with 1 recruiter. Through that I had phone interviews with Nissan, Clark forklifts, numerous tier 1 auto suppliers, and many I just passed up because they were low balling across the board and/or didn't want to live where they wanted to ship me. My actual job search lasted 4 months before I got where I wanted to be. I got there through a, then current client.
Let me clarify that so you understand what is important. My job search lasted 4 months before I GOT WHERE I WANTED TO BE.
How did I do it? Networking. That is the new job market. Here are some articles to get you started. I could thread jack this whole thing for a year over what I have learned but know this, there are tons of jobs out there.
Harvard Business Review - Crack the Hidden Job Market. On a side note, HBR has an excellent email blast. Read them, you will learn.
Forbes - Get A Job Using the Hidden Job Market
CNN Money - The Hidden Job Market
Google "hidden job market" and you will find the answers you seek.
Good luck!
Oh yeah, almost forgot a pic
