You're experiencing the reality of life after graduation . Most graduates don't get jobs in their chose field right away unless it is a high demand field. But don't let that bother you. Degrees eventually make up for it later on. I have changed careers a couple times and the thing that has worked well is to get into a dept or company that hires what I want to do. I.e. Take an admin job at an advertising firm. Or do temp work as a receptionist. People underestimate receptionists. They get the whole lay of the land and meet everyone. Some companies aren't friendly with moving people up. Then move on. At least you walk away with experience IN an advertising firm.

The other thing to do is get yourself on linkedin and join local professional groups. It can be graphic design based or a local business group. Don't worry about "being qualified". You are just there to listen. You'd be surprised what you can pick up. Also you never know if somebody is going to be looking for a junior.
