Try this - - - - Target Your Job Search. Select 20 companies you’d like to work for. "Google" the company every morning and see what is in the news.  Go to their websites (not LinkedIn company page) to find relevant openings and apply there, submitting a resume and cover letter (yes a cover letter) that is tailored to each job and mentions any news that comes out today. Customize the resume, making certain your skills and experience align with what they want in that entry-level job. Be selective. Only apply if it’s a good fit to avoid unnecessary rejections.
