As the school year comes to a swift close, many college graduates are on the hunt for entry-level positions. Finding a job can be difficult, especially for recent-grads that may have little to no experience. However, with a four-year diploma and the right mindset, you can land your first ‘real world’ job right out of college.

In fact, today there are more vacant positions than unemployed people in the U.S. For about a year, openings have outplaced the number of unemployed Americans. For recent-grads, this is great news as it allows applicants to be more selective about the positions they apply to.
