I wouldn't put much faith in the job sites, tons of people apply for those jobs. What you should do is hunt down companies that you want to work for and check their job sites for openings, many times they post there before the go to other media outlets. Also check the newspaper. Most newspapers in major cities have their jobs online, but there are some jobs that are only in the newspaper. Lastly, Networking...get your name out there. Tell anyone who is listening that you are looking for a job in that field. They might know someone in the field or bump into someone in the field where they can casually mention you are looking for work.
One more thing, does your school offer job placement assistance? If they do, hopefully you have been using them as much as you can. I know several people who only hire graduates from their school. It took me 6 months to find my job after I graduated. I was searching all over within a 300 mile radius...ended up getting a job 5 blocks from my house.
