My spouse went through the PPD fast track program a couple of years ago. She had a hard time finding an internship but eventually got a full time job through networking with people in her church. She used the first month of the job for her practicum to graduate. I think the key is to network with every possible route.
It ticked her off that the people who seemed to do the minimum amount of work to just pass the course were also the people who had practicums and jobs lined up by the time they graduated. A lot depends on existing contacts and networking.
I know it was just an expression but don't "throw your resume around". Tailor the resume and cover letter depending upon the company and opportunities it may have (generally you can get an idea from looking at what ads they might have out for Sr. Designers). Linked In is a great source for finding people in the industries and the types of jobs and companies that are out there. I assume they have already given you the Mike Laing engineering directory website.
