Keep improving your resume. It's a living document that should evolve and improve whenever you think of ways to do so. Read a job posting and realize there's a better way to phrase something on your resume? Change it and fix it. After a few iterations your resume will be better tailored to the kind of jobs you're looking for. It's like 70% of what those master resume reviewers do but for free. Networking is good just to get a better idea of your field, but don't expect anything of it unless the contact is ideally situated to make things happen. Don't be afraid to put your resume out there on some (quality) job sites. Industry specific sites are the place to do this. For example, as a researcher in biotech I would go to a place like biospace. Going along with above, don't be afraid to submit your resume to respectable contracting agencies. A temporary position can have 100% of the responsibilities as a full time position, but with worse pay and worse/no benefits. Think of it as a paid internship and a chance to prove yourself or at least score valuable big-boy job experience. Being able to relocate is definitely the most important factor in finding a quality job fast. Too many people are unwilling for a variety of reasons, but if you don't have anything tying you down, I definitely see no reason not to apply to jobs across the country as long as they're within your competencies.
