What are my prospects for looking for jobs? As far as I can tell, after your first job, it becomes all about having the degree and having experience. Unfortunately, I will be graduating soon and looking for my first job, what are my prospects?

I'm coming from a fairly good, (top 10) bioengineering program but my GPA is a 2.90. I do have research experience (about 1 year's worth). I've presented at a few poster presentations as well, regarding my research.

I understand it will be difficult to find a decent job, but what should I be expecting and what should I do to maximize my chances in the application process.
Anything I should focus on in my skill resume, or anything of that nature? what should I emphasize during an interview (if i get one)?

Any help/discussion is welcomed and appreciated.

wait, so you are graduating this May?

it doesn't make sense you don't know what to expect from job market when you are graduating like right now. haven't you started your job search already?

you could have had a fair number of interviews already if you had signed up for interviews that were on-campus. my GPA is mediocre but I had like 20 interviews just on-campus including Microsoft, GE, Lockheed, UTC, Goodyear, Hewlett Packard, Chevron, Johnson&Johnson, etc (that was like more than 50% resume-interview ratio.... campus interviews are like that, im assuming)
