These Big Companies Have the Most Entry-Level Job Openings for Grads

For those who are fresh out of college, looking for a job isn’t always easy. Many so-called “entry-level” jobs actually require a few years of experience. Thus, if you didn’t have an internship or a professional network in your chosen field, it can be tough to break in.

In such cases, your best bet as a job seeker might be to look where there are a lot of openings. After all, not only are these organizations more likely to have a job that matches your background, but you might also have some leverage. For instance, if one of these employers has a large number of openings with the job title you want, your chances will likely be better than they would be if there were only one or two postings.

The job openings at these companies and organizations are specifically those that require a college degree and internship experience or one year of experience or less. In other words, these are legitimate entry-level positions, and all of these employers are hiring thousands of them in 2021.
