"Breaking into Graphic Design" is a book I highly recommend. I read it and it helped me get my design job. The book provides a wealth of information on finding full-time employment, freelance work, and owning a business in the graphic design industry.
Through interviews, the book gives insider prospectives on the business side of design. It also has a gallery of professional designers' resumes. More information about the book is available HERE .
