Hang in there. Graduate recruiting is cyclical and has lag, which are combining right now to make for tough conditions for milk-round applicants. If you dont get what you want now then start targeting the off cycle recruiting processes as as soon as you hear of their markets picking up. Once these companies see conditions improving they will be scrambling to hire all the people that they were no-so-long-ago scared to hire...

(Companies doing milkround recruiting (i.e. large companies, including consultancies and banks) typically set their targets for # of hires in advance of milkround cycle starting. (In my experience, this would mean setting numbers in September for the cycle that is 'on campus' in Dec-Feb). So it's no wonder they are down - they set numbers when everyone was very scared.)
