These days it’s hard to find a job of any kind, let alone an Entry Level Job. It can be grueling work, but it’s not impossible. There are a number of great resources and articles available online that can help you get a leg up on the competition.

One such article was posted on USNews a little while ago. 7 Keys to Snagging a Job as a College Grad provides several concise tips on how to find your first real job after college.

Among the advice:

Be flexible on location. You might need to work for a few years in a city that wouldn’t normally be your first choice. Remember, it’s just a stepping-stone.

This is actually something that I did. Before I even started looking for work, I never dreamed that I would leave my hometown. However, I ended up moving twice within the first six months after graduation in order to find work.

Also,

Find a mentor. Former teachers, relatives, neighbors, friends of your parents can be a source of advice and job leads, and can serve as a sounding board.

I have been lucky enough to have a number of different mentors who have helped to shape and guide my career. They have been invaluable resources as I have moved through my post-school life.

This is a great article for anyone looking for an Entry Level Job.
