I wouldn't give different advice than I would have last year. It's harder to find a job now, but the approach has not changed.

Most jobs are found through personal connections. Getting referrals from those people is a lot better than submitting your resume into hundreds of web forms, along with all the other applicants.

New grads have fewer connections than people who are established in their careers, but they may have contacts from prior work experience, internships, classmates, and friends.

Really the most useful advice would be to people who have not yet graduated: make sure you do some internships and build those connections while you are in school!
