Look for a part-time job in Software while I was still at University.
I was just about to finish my industrial placement year, and really didn't want to lose the valuable experience of working on real-world projects whilst finishing my degree. So I emailed a local bespoke software company who were hiring for an Intern Android Developer position. The position was initially supposed to be for 12 weeks full time, but I explained my situation and ended up doing 6 weeks full time, then I continued to work part-time whilst finishing my studies.
Because of the choice I made, I've just been offered a graduate position to start in May!
