What should i do in regards to looking for work now since i graduated a trade school as an electrician?

I've just finished up a 7 month trade school where i was studying to become an electrician and from what i'm hearing the school is having some problems finding the students jobs right away due to how bad the economy is these days i've been looking on job web sites and other places for work so i don't have to depend on the school can someone help me with some suggestions or info as to what they think would be a productive move for me in the electrician field of work Thanks
