Hi Abhishek
I am an SAP FI fresher and had to wait for 3 months to get a job recently.
I understand it is tough but at the same time, you need to keep your eyes and ears open. Many 'good' companies are hiring Freshers, but do nto restrict yourself to a particular location.
Also, be in touch with your training institute from where you got certifed and increase your networking through friends/colleagues.
SAP is implemented at many companies even at mid-size level, so you should try your hand at free internship (no pay) to keep you hands-on with SAP for the time being, till you get a full-time job. I did that for 2 months after getting certified.
Sharpen your FI skills with your training material and posts on FI forums in SDN. They help you a lot.
All the best!

Hi Abhishek,
I am facing a similar problem. I am a certified SAP FI Consultant and have over three years of experience in management consulting. However, have not got a breakthrough yet. It has been over an year now. And yes, you are right. No one is hiring freshers. Few people who have been able to get through are those who have prior experience, though not a considerable one in SAP. Having said this, I must also tell you that there are many people like us and I personally know a lot of them. All I can say is do not lose hope. Keep reading. We'll have our day as well! All the best!
