Take a breath.

Remember these are wish list items, you can always wow them with your passion/etc. Don't let the buzz words get you down.

Recent college grad to me translates into we want to mold you from the ground up, so sell your openess to new ideas and thinking outside the box.

Multi-tasking. Honestly some people get flustered when more than one thing comes at them at a time. Really. I've had to let admins go because of this.

Degree is a must. I do have to say that gets me down as well because many are asking for this. Some places do toss any resume without a degree and honestly I think it's stupid. I temped at a place like that. Big name company. I watched them make a job offer to a very sweet girl on my team, new college grad, very sweet but not bright. Really not bright as in low iq. Could barely do the work, felt very challenged when all she was doing was data entry and I spent a lot of time coaching her. They offered her a job but not me, me with the glowing resume, because of my lack of degree. To overcome this I say networking is key. Also, once those high-horse darling companies aren't the darlings they once were, they become more flexible. If you can get in the door you can over come this as well.
