'Networking' is the most thing that one should be doing. One other way during these tough times is employee-referral. Get in touch with friends, relatives and so on, and may be ask them to refer you internally with in the company they work if you are interested. Not only that it lands you up in a job if your profile is good; the advantage is that this way of approaching companies and giving interviews works out to be a little faster compared to the ones mentioned above.

(I don't agree with the terminology though; any degree from an institution that's not among the top -15 nationally or in the top-5 in the job hub doesn't get brownie points). I had no contacts in the industry and I tried every possible avenue-- mass mailing to recruiters at all firms in the industry, online job boards, linkedin, social networking etc.. I did not receive offers for 2 months but the experience taught me the value of persistence.  I received replies from some contacted individuals who provided candid feedback and helped me make changes to my CV and cover letter. And one fine evening when I did receive that elusive call for interview, I felt supremely confident of my candidature thanks to the numerous discussions and emails I had exchanged.
