Any graduates out job-hunting?

I’ve just finished hunting for a job for the second time in two years, and currently my sister and my best friend are in the same situation. Because of all this I’ve done a lot of research and spoken to HR managers, advisors and tutors, and if anyone else is in the same boat I’d be glad to offer what little help I can. I’m also unemployed until the new job starts, so I have time on my hands.

I’m pretty good with graduate CVs, application forms and interviews, although I don’t know if there are many major differences with US employers’ expectations (I doubt it). There’s obviously no guarantees involved (!), and I’m sure there are many posters better able to answer specialised questions, but I’d hate to think I was sitting on any useful information that someone could use.
