You should not just wait around for an opportunity and instead should start actively looking for opportunities that you can take up.
There is no way your room mate back in college is going to pick up his or her phone to call you to submit your resume for the next job opportunity.
There is no magic that will put your resume infront of the manager who is hiring employees at the company that you desire to work for.
Take your destiny into your own hands, start reaching out to people you know who can actually help you or put aside sometime for searching for jobs.
2. Make sure that your resume is up to date

The good thing is that it will save you alot of time when you stumble radomly upon an opportunity and it will also keep you ready to start negotiations for a pay raise or promotion if you are currently working somewhere.
If you discover that you not getting any responses from any of your would be employers, then it is wise for you to keep updating your resume or create different resumes for different kinds of jobs depending on the positions available and skills required by those employers.
3. Take charge of your destiny
If you are going to be successful, then you will need to take ownership of all the things that you are going to do. This could be the bad things and also the good things as well.
You should be able to stand up and accept your mistakes or challenges that you are facing. Employers desire people who are resonsible and know how to manage themselves and are also capable of demostrating some kind of leadership when required.
4. Develop a positive attitude

If you can put in the time and care into your work, i promise you that you will be one of the most sought after people.
This level care will be shining during the interveiws and even on your resume making you one of the most markatable people for your would be employers.
