One mistake many recent college graduates make is looking for openings in the wrong places. Its understandable- no one ever tells you how to get an entry level job.

To clarify, craigslist and monster.com are absolutely the wrong places for entry level job seeking. From what I hear, they kind of suck for any job seeking.

The best place is a company's website. Quite a few company's have a "students" or "new graduates" sub-section in their careers section. This is how I ended up at my job.

Networking and on campus recruiting are nice too, but they aren't always an option.



Or, if it is a smaller company, a mail to jobs@company.com with a short introduction and resume attached.
