You may want to try posting your resume on some of the usual job boards plus a couple in your area of expertise. It took a couple of months, but I ended up with three interviews from that action, and accepted one of the positions offered. I agree with the networking advice below, but if you find it is not producing results, posting the resume worked for me. Also, if you had some projects that you completed in the course of your education, you might highlight them and how they could help a company's bottom line.
A further thought - My way into a job as a financial analyst started by taking a position as an administrative assistant in a financial department. You don't indicate your area of expertise, but working as an administrative assistant or in an accounts payable or accounts receivable position in a company or department in your specialty (i.e. not your target job) can provide a way into your degree field many times.
Another avenue to consider is working as a contract employee. Often those jobs end up as something more stable as the client company discovers your value.
Wishing you the very best in your search!
