I have learned a couple of things: It's not what you know, but who. Especially in Television and Radio. Do you know anyone in the industry? Do your professors? Go through your school's alumni office and start calling (not emailing) alumni.
That brings the second point: Call, do not email anyone. Monster, hotjobs, etc don't really mean anything. Maybe 1 in 50 will reply. A lot of jobs posted on there are just HR drones going nuts or putting up ads to satisfy legal requirements.
Don't be picky. I have a friend who had a similar major at one of the most prestigious colleges in the field. His professor hooked him up with all kinds of contract stuff, but after 2 years, he's pretty much still doing bitchwork. But, he's doing bitchwork for one of the most successful shows currently on television, so he's starting to work his way up.
