If your uni has career fairs, attend them. Look for the booths without long lines that might be hiring for your major. They tend to ask about projects, but you can use class assignments or projects as examples. They’re looking for your understanding of the project and how well you can communicate that. Another trick is to use your “major GPA” (ommitting general education courses) on your resume if it makes the number higher.

I recommend trying to get as many internships as you can while in school, all at different places. It gets your foot in the door at more companies and gives you a better idea of what you like in a working environment.
