I would say to remember that as well as finding a job (that you may need BADLY), you need to find the right job.
If you’re looking for your first job, there must be a reason? Why do you want to do programming? Use the same thinking to find the company that fits. It may be tempting to take the first job to get a foot in the door of the industry, but quickly that job could become a run of the mill daily grind.
If you can, hold off. You’ll know the right one when it comes along.
