First you need to identify what interests you . Are you certain that you are even interested in your major? If the answer is yes then the next best thing to do is go onto the major jobsites and search computer science and see what types of jobs openings are most common. Once you have that information then you will want to tailor your resume so that you highlight networking or programming or what have you. You might even consider taking a few extra courses in a particular area to support the claims on your resume. If you aren't sure what interests you then you might want to go to your career resource center at your college or university and ask them if they can let you take a vocational aptitude and interest test. Usually they are offered for free by your alma mater. That test will help you determine your true interests, and once you are armed with that knowledge you can make your next move toward fulfillment.

When in doubt, seek a second/ third opinion .

-seek an aptitude test / discuss with career counsellor.

-discuss with some professionals coming from different background
like networking, etc and get a feel of the different jobs in
real life.

Once you have done this, you will a better understanding of
the jobs. This understanding will guide towards the right career.

Do you like software or hardware; getting programs & systems to work or making new programs & systems? Do you like making websites? Think about the things you most enjoyed doing computer-wise when you were working on your degree ... what do they tell you about a potential direction to take?

Rather than taking additional college courses, you may want to consider investing in a good certification program. Once you've figured out an area you're interested in (networking, DBA, web design, etc.) google it with the word "certification" added. Having solid technical certification in an area will make you much more marketable.

There are even some free certification programs out there, like the following for web design:
