More skills! I know you have them!
Examples from mine: public speaking, problem solving, art, presentation design, Microsoft Office, blogging, retail, Spanish, writing.
Otherwise, get some connections. School mates are a great source of contacts. You don't have to be friends... people who have seen your projects, done group work with you, heard you speak in front of the class, etc. Do not expect that people you have never worked with or done schoolwork with (like your non-work friends) to link in with you.
I personally avoid linking in with people I have never met or seen in their professional capacity. I am linked in with my brother and uncle but none of my other relatives or friends unless we worked together. This is fully up to you to decide.
Also, follow major perspective employers in your area... you know who they are.
