OK my advice for all new college grads is this:
Just because you are a college grad does not mean you know everything. You will have to start at the bottom in entry level positions and work your way up.
The reason I say this is because looking back to when I was 21 and recently graduated, I thought I knew it all. You don't know how many people we interview in my agency who act the same way, and apply for positions they are not at all qualified for. While education and book knowledge counts for a lot, the majority of what you will really learn in the work force is through hands on experience, and in many cases, graduate education and internships.
Also I wish I focused more on getting experience in my field while I was in undergrad (even if unpaid) instead of doing waitressing jobs and working at the movies.
Good luck to all recent college grads!!!!
