Be flexible.

Are you willing to move? Are you willing to start at something that you don't necessarly want?

Don't think you'll get your dream job out of the gates. Look hard for jobs.

A friend of mine had a chance for a job with the National Security Agency (I have no idea what they do, but it seemed like a sweet set up) and she didn't even bother to go through the interview process. Why? Because it's 6 hours away from her family. So she didn't work for months and months instead. She has a decent job now, but she could be making $60,000 a year for a goverment agency which is damn good.

So... be flexible and good luck!
