I know of several DoD sites in metro DC that have multiple BSCS openings they are trying to fill. They are taking the resumes sent to the civil service folks, filtering for candidates with relevant skills, then using body shop contractors to hire people (due to the civil service hiring freeze).  I would suggest sending an unsolicited resume and cover letter to any such sites within your commute radius.

I also know of tech companies (outside govt sector) along Silver Line that are actively hiring new CS grads.

[b]For different reasons, both of those groups of employers' first cut filters usually include whether the resume explicitly says "US Citizen".  If anyone looking for work is a US Citizen and their resume does not say that,[/b] I would go edit the resume now. Putting it at the end of the resume is fine, but be explicit about this. [/quote]

PP.  Yes, the resume explicitly stated "US Citizen" in the first line of the resume.
