Just to add to the comments on making contacts. Facebook really is your friend. So many short links between all the top GA jobs on facebook, try to connect with all your instructors friends too. Who you know can skip you into a company over someone with 1000hours more than you.
Couldn't agree more with you EOC. Contacts are everything in aviation with such a tight knit community in many respects and they can be extremely useful for finding that first job!
As one wise man once said- it's not what you know it's who you know
