Good call an putting coursework on there. You don't have experience so that at least shows you've done
something.
I know it sucks but just keep trying. I graduated last summer...didn't find a job in my field until three months ago. I found 90% of entry level jobs in my field said they require 2-3 years experience or certification (which takes 5 years of experience
). Make sure that you're somewhat customizing your cover letters for each job - my boss told me that's what initially made me stand out to him. And go over them two or three times to make sure you don't have any typos, nothing gets your resume thrown out faster than a typo.
Some days it feels like you're throwing the resumes and cover letters in to a giant void but you gotta keep going.
What websites are you using to find job postings? The best I found was
www.indeed.ca. Make sure you have an up to date LinkedIn profile and your Facebook locked down as well.
The job market is starting to heat up in Calgary so you've at least got that in your favour.
