Its tough out there but companies are hiring (we're having trouble hiring the right skills actually!).
I'd say to think about contractor work through an agency. It's a side door into a lot of large companies that might not hire you otherwise. You get the experience and networking oportunities of a large company, benefits come from the agency.
I started with a 6 mos contract, I said no at first cause i thought I didn't want to be looking again 6 mos later, but then figured i'd give it a go. 4 years later, still there (but full time employee).
