I graduated around the time of 911 and dot.com bust. It was really hard finding a tech job in the VA area that didn't required ridiculous amount of experience and security clearance. I used GMU's career center a lot and they have people there who can direct you to available positions around the region (best bet would be gov agencies right now). Ask around...ask friends, ask family, that's really the best bet for a recent graduate during these bad times. Sometimes [it] is who you know not what you know.

Good luck.
