I'll underline Jazz's statement.

Most of the time in your career you'll get jobs or find jobs by people you know. This includes just being somewhere that you can get exposure to jobs within a company.

While other graduates are "waiting" for that perfect job, you can be networking and already making an income by temping within the field that you want, or even just to be an admin assistant until something comes up.

I've found personally that once I got into the executive admin assistant temp pool, I was sought after because they want people who they can trust with secrets and protocol and understand just how to mesh with an executive's needs.

My current job, some people remember me from temping here in that capacity almost 7 years ago.
