Have you tried sending your resume to companies that are out of your immediate area? My friends have had the most luck when they leave their options completely open and apply to places that are out of their state.

Have you tried searching for volunteer opportunities in your field of interest? If you are able to find a local club or organisation that will allow you to interact with those in your field, they'll recognize your face and name when they see your application come up later.

You also might want to try a temporary staffing agency such as Volt, Robert Half International (Accountemps, Office Team, Robert Half Law), etc. Pay won't be anything spectacular, but it'll give you a little office experience and maybe a few local references. It'll also help you pay the bills while you're looking for that dream career position.
