There isn't a defacto company out there who puts up a, "welcome n00bs" flag. You'll have to hit the streets and sell yourself to potential employers just like anyone else. The problem you have is that you are trying to get into a very desirable area of the IT industry when the world economy is in the crapper. We have gotten over 400 applications for an internship that pays zippo. These folks hope to get a "foot in the door" so that they have a better chance of getting hired on should a position become available during the internship.

Anyway, I'm not trying to discourage you, but instead, give you a pulse for what is happening right now.
