You think that $1000 a month for a three bedroom single family home on a half acre of land isn't CHEAP? You pay that for your shoebox of an apartment, and I guarantee you that where I live is a lot safer than where you live.

I was thinking a lot lower when he said cheap like $400/$500.
Even for "entry level" employers like to see that you have some type of prior work or volunteer experience. Even if you worked at McDonald's in high school and a work study situation in college, then a four month internship, it's better than someone with zero experience doing anything except being a student.
I would avoid hiring anyone with a degree who had never held any type of job/internship or performed a significant amount of formal volunteer work.
I think they are mainly looking for internship experience. I had a job throughout high school and work study in college (up to 35 hours a week or work with a full course load), and most companies said they wanted to see internship experience. Although this is in Marketing/Advertising (and being in the Northeast, it is very competitive).
Um ... Entry-level jobs are not supposed to require prior experience ... I can understand positions asking for experience but they should not be designated as "entry-level" as that is incorrect.
Says who...? Companies make up their own rules...if they want experience, whatever the level...then they can advertise for experienced help. It's not the general public that designates what is and what is not 'incorrect'.

Oh I agree companies can advertise what they may but it is misleading to say a position is entry-level when they are requiring years of experience.
