What is the best way for a recent creative writing grad to get an agent?

I have a degree in creative writing from a top university, but still have no significant credits yet. How should I go about getting published in a reputable magazine or web site for the first time? Is self-publishing the way to go? I have short stories that are done, but I am not sure where to send them. I know I need an agent, but trying to get one without ever being published just isn’t going to happen. Any suggestions?

Hello.
I would be grateful for advice on creative writing copywright issues.

If so, what’s the best way to do this?
Thank you in advance.
