I just graduated from college but I find it difficult to land the job that I am eyeing for. I was thinking of applying outside my major lo learn new skills and build my profile and ultimately transfer these skills to other careers or maybe use them to advance a career ladder. I am thinking of working part-time just to test the waters and if I don't like the corporate culture or industry I can leave without looking like a job hopper. Is this the right way to do it? What do you think?

You can definitely apply for a job that is outside your major if you're really good about something. It's difficult to look for a job nowadays because of the recession.
