In short, the international scenario on the job frontier is a truly an unimpressive one.

There are hardly new opportunities and the little existent scopes are extremely synchronized for groups of persons who are highly qualified and professionally experienced. Mediocre people are the worst sufferers of this time. They neither have a job nor have definite source of income. Furthermore, employers are taking opportunity of this tough time largely as they are offering invariably low salary to the aspirants. Therefore, the overall situation is enough gloomy where it is difficult to get across a fair opportunity to start afresh.

However, you cannot seat idle and watch the situation quietly. Rather you should do something positive to overcome from the difficulties posed by this adversity. And truly, you have numbers of options to follow by this time. First of all, do not make yourself so rigid. It is important making yourself liberal enough for any sort of job for this time being. For example, I know a person who has been working for a big real estate group before to 2009. When he lost his job at the onset of the last year, he did not lose hope and involved himself in some other pursuits. Now he is running his own business and he has opened a small real estate agent farm that deals foreclosed property mainly. He has told me that the returns are beyond expectation and he is really doing well here. Moreover, he plans to go on with this business in future too.

What I tried to explain above that it is about understanding the situation of the market. You need to catch the flavor of the time. Try to find out in which way you can make money. You do not necessarily start a business but you can think about other domains also so that you can survive at least at this very moment. For the fresh students, it is not a good time you start your career. Wait for some more months or even a year. Indulge this time in some further studies. May be some specialization course would give you finesse to your qualification. Experts are hoping high that the scenario will alter very soon and probably within a year. Wait for that moment to come and start a new career at that time only.
