First option: Drive downtown and write down every business you see. I would imagine 99% of them need technology, 75% of them have some form of technology, and 50% of them are using legacy software. Call them. Something is running at O(n^5) and they need your help.
Second option: Connections. Find that person that knows someone. Use your alumni network.
Third option: If you're fresh out of college, expand out of city or state. Watching students stagnate in their hometowns is a shame.
Persistence pays off regardless of the field. 'Hi, I'm wondering if you have any computer related jobs available? No? Do you happen to know anyone applying?' Build a network out of people you're only talking to for 5 minutes!
