The responses you have received so far have been discouraging.  They are
right, of course, one cannot easily find a job right now.  However, I
have seen a number of students move on to respectable jobs or to graduate
school.  Typically, these are people who temper a realistic outlook with
good humor and an ability to aggressively pursue opportunities.  They work
to develop their skills in writing and editing; they seek opportunities
beyond what can be had in classes to learn and demonstrate those writing
and editing skills--work on student newspapers or university publications,
internships, and the like.  Often they combine a major in writing or speech
communication with a minor or major in a science or technical field, for the
combination makes them attractive to organizations which need help with
technical editing or writing "in-house" publications.

Then, too, your university surely must have a placement office where you
may seek help not only with sources of job advertisements, but also with
planning your undergraduate work to give you something "extra" to put on
a resume.  Then, too, getting to know a few professors who may one day be
able to recommend you to prospective employers is invaluable.  Find out
who in your major department or in a related department arranges internships.
