Good for people you know. Most college graduates I know didn't have it go as smooth. There's a process that goes with the search, and right now, it generally takes a bit of luck.

College fairs are BS currently. For engineers it consists of HR people who don't know a lick about engineering telling you to go their website. Few are hiring, and most are there just to go through the motions. There's also internships and co/ops, but if they don't have a position to fill (which most don't), it doesn't matter.

This isn't some dream problem. There's little work for recent graduates regardless of major. Engineers have it better than most. But that doesn't mean there aren't a lot out there struggling to get positions.

Part, if not most, of "handling your business" is learning to effectively network. Getting good grades and just sitting there waiting is not going to get you anywhere, no matter what your GPA or concentration is.
