Thank you all for your advice.

There was a job fair earlier today. It wasn't that big, only 8 companies were there. I visited 3 of them. I spoke with representatives from the first two companies, but nothing special came out of that. However, the last one I had spoken with was really interested in me and I was able to connect with the recruiter on a personal level as well. She wants me to come in tomorrow for an info session and interview.

There's another job fair tomorrow on campus that I am going to, I hope more employers find me of interest.

I probably don't have to tell you this, but dress appropriately for the interview.

You don't know how many people think khaki's and a polo are appropriate for an interview.  Dress shirt and tie minimum, jacket recommended, and nice shoes.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

I attended the info session but refused to go forward with that company because I didn't seem interested in them when I learned what they were actually about.

I went to the job fair today and I am scheduled for 2 interviews. One of the recruiters seemed interested in me and I spoke with her for about an hour about everything. These job fairs seem to really help, hopefully I can come out with a job at the end.

I am also going to apply to the places of employment where my parents work, there are a couple of open positions that relate to both of my potential degrees. I've heard that family referrals within their workplace help a whole lot, actually I am just assuming.
