Remove tongue rings and other distracting piercings from your face. An employer wants to focus on you, not what you're wearing.

Leave kids and friends at home when going on an interview. You need time to focus on the interview and be relaxed before it takes place.

A sloppy application is the best way to get eliminated. To avoid this fate, make sure your application has no mistakes in spelling and grammar, and clearly presents your thoughts.

Research and know about the company you are applying at. The more knowledge of the company you have shows an employer that you've done your homework, and can also prepare you for a potential interview with the company.

Keep track of your achievements and accomplishments. This information is good for your resume to show an employer what type of worker he or she can expect to have if you are hired for the job.

Find someone to mentor you. Having someone within a company as a reference who has experience and who you trust never hurts.

Don't burn bridges with past employers. When you leave a company, do so on good terms. A former employer might be a key resource to help you find a new job, or you might need to work for that employer again in the future.

You're not entitled to a job - you earn the right to work for an employer. Jobs aren't handed out for free. You must put in the time and energy it takes to get the job you want.

Hopefully, these tips will give entry level job seekers graduating from college some guidance as they head off into the real world.
