I'm currently looking for work in GIS myself, though I came from a major in Comp Sci rather than Geography. So far the employers who have interviewed me have said that my knowledge of programming, databases, algorithms, etc is a strong point (Just not strong enough so far). So I'd recommend you develop some skill in that area. You are probably covering some programming and database theory in your GIS program, but try to expand on it, the small amount that can be crammed into a course or two only scratches the surface.

Of course, as I've only managed one short contract job in the GIS field since getting my GIS diploma, you may want to disregard my advice.
