i graduated from CSUS in may 2006. I have very little job experience and experiencing difficulties finding a job. I have no choice but to look for a entry level job. Does anyone have any tips to finding one or any career advice?
thanks

Unfortunately, you have a degree in an area that by many standards is considered "saturated". It is interesting to see you write that you "...have no choice...". There is always a choice. The sad thing is that we have been programmed to think that the key to success is taking the route you took (college) and looking for a job (working for someone else's dream!).
My advice, decide what you want to do in life and where you want to be. Then ask yourself the question: "Will a job REALLY allow me to achieve what is I want to do? If so, how long will it take?" Be honest with yourself. One of the keys to being successful is looking at what everyone else is doing and do the opposite, because MOST people are successful! Most people work for a living. OBVIOUSLY this is not the key to success...
If I can be of any assistance, you can contact me privately. Other than that, best wishes on your journey.

Any degree is helpful as a selling point when looking for a job. It might be the places you have applied, are searching and how you've organized your search.
As a stopgap measure to get some money while you are looking, you should apply to some of the temporary agencies. This may also help you get a better idea about the types of jobs you wish to apply for.
I am including a list of online resources for the job hunt and for organizing your job search.
