Here's how to land an entry-level job, in brief.

Difficulty: Average
Time Required: N/A

Here's How:

1. Start by creating stellar traditional and electronic resumes that highlight your recent education and related skills.
2. Submit your electronic resume to several job sites that list or specialize in entry-level jobs, so that recruiters and employers find it.
3. Also submit your electronic resume to student-oriented sites, where you'll find entry-level jobs, and lots of resume tips and career advice.
4. Sign up to receive job notification by email at sites that offer it.
5. If there are specific companies for which you'd like to work, send job inquiry letters to the human resources departments.
6. Check with your educational institution's career office for current opportunities and upcoming career events.
7. Attend public job fairs, that do not require minimum experience.
8. Post job-wanted messages in bulletin boards where employers and recruiters visit.
9. Browse newsgroups for job leads.
10. While you're waiting for recruiters and employers to respond, and before you attend job fairs, prepare for interviews.

Tips:

1. If you don't feel comfortable typing your own resume, consider paying for it. It's worth it.
2. If you can't find an entry-level job right away, you might try to land an internship or two until you do.
3. You might also try to land some temporary jobs, to earn reasonable pay while gaining work experience.
