I feel your pain. Work is hard to come by these days no matter how well qualified you are.
Network with everyone you know. Pi Phi undoubtedly has some resources you can tap into, and you may be able to use your school's career office too, even if you're taking a semester off. You may want to contact some headhunters, too - just make it clear that you're looking for contract work, rather than a permanent job, because you're planning to go back to school next semester.
Best of luck.
