Funny, because most adults question if they can compete with you kids just coming out of college, lol.
The best way in my opinion to locate jobs is by personal referral. So if you know a friend of a friend who has a friend whose mother is the manager of Acme Co. by all means get someone to refer you to her. The closer related to her the better off for you. (This is just an example, but you get my point)
As far as interviews go spend time having a conversation. Build a relationship. Make the interviewer laugh and get them off their game plan. Remember their only purpose is to eliminate you from getting to the next round. You're job is to make them forget that. Make them think they are your best friend and they'd do anything for you.
Make them WANT you to have the job. Not because you're more qualified than anyone else (at this point you're not), not because you have better answers to their silly questions (believe me if they've interviewed for any length of time they know all the answers), but because they like, no not like, adore you.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared to answer questions. It means that you should always be working them.
As far as your resume goes remember you can put more than just your jobs on there. A resume is supposed to reflect your experience which isn't limited to the jobs you've had. It needs to tell a story about who you are which goes far beyond a few crummy little jobs you might have held.
My final piece of advice - If you want to be an editor start offering your services on Craig's List and other places as a freelancer. It'll put some money in your pocket, give you real-world experience, and keep you busy while you're looking for work.
