Answer and explanation:
First of all, it is imperative that you <em>feel confident your skills are good enough</em> to take them to the work-frame. You do not have to be a guru in your field of study but make sure you have gotten good at the level that will allow you to be productive.
Second, <em>research for companies that match your professional and personal profile</em>. "XYZ" company might offer the best salaries in the market but if its working environment does not suit you, you are not likely to grow within the organization.
Once you find a firm of interest, prepare a CV and for the interview. Practice answering basic "cliche" interview questions related to your academic and professional background. Also about your personality.
Last but not least, after the interview <em>request for a contact</em> of he person to whom you spoke to follow up on the selection process. It is a good way to show them how interested you are in the job position and gives a professional image of your profile.
