just breathe!

get your portfolio ready..and it's ok to have differently "geared" portfolios depending on where you might be applying. (ex: if you want to be a wedding photog you probably don't need studio still life pics...but if you want to do product photog then wedding pics don't seem all that necessary) it works the same for painting, illustration, and graphic design, etc as well. put it online.

if that isn't happening trying working at art supply stores, galleries, framing, or volunteer and get to know the patrons...you be surprised who maybe looking for help in their business that is right up your alley. join critique groups, art clubs, whatever to help keep you inspired and creating and more importantly making connections. learn how to market yourself. you are your own best horn tooter :O)

it's ok to work the sh*t jobs once in a while to support your "art habit"...we've all done it :O)

just a few random tips hope it helps.
good luck and keep on creating...from one fellow art school grad to another
