The best time to do a job hunt is when you are in school. You should do internships which will help you put some experience in your resume. Many interns also end up joining the company that they intern to.
Now that you've completed your studies already, I say keep trying. Reach out to your professors who you think have industry contacts, your friends through your network. Keep applying on monster and careerbuilder. Also, make a list of all bio-tech firms and visit their career page; then apply directly. See if you can get contact for HR of that company and try to establish communication by asking him/her questions about your career there.
Having said this, it still isn't easy to get jobs, specially if you don't have an experience. Keep trying; you never know what will click. Meanwhile, have some kind of plan what you will do if you don't get any offer in next 3 months...such as other jobs, study further, go back home etc. Don't lose hope and hang in there buddy.
