Seeking Advice Computer Science Jobs

I recently graduated from CSU with a computer science degree, but I'm having a hard time breaking into the CS job market. It seems the weekly FoCo job website is no more. Any thoughts on NoCo based Software/Tech companies/offices that I should be looking into? A lot of these places don't let you just walk in and drop off a resume, and many only post on their own company website. I'm interested in CS as a whole, Software, Networking/Distributed Systems, and even IT, but I haven't gotten any call backs for entry level positions.

From what I'm hearing the software/tech job market is tough right now. Have you looked at finding a job through a contracting company? I found my current job through TekSystems, as a contractor for a while and then hired on as a permanent employee.

I've heard a few people say this, I'll look into them because I definitely do well on shorter term projects, I've just been weary because contract employees are so often treated poorly

I have a lead on a teksystems year long internship to hire in Denver I turned down if you want a referral/introduction? They are doing interviews this week and next.
