One thing I'd add is don't be afraid to list non-technical work experience on your resume when you're looking for your first job. We all assume each entry level candidate with a CS degree has done the standard coursework and projects which can be evaluated in a technical interview. However, experience in unrelated fields, like waiting tables, is a differentiator in my mind since it tells me the candidate has already had a taste of the time and commitment responsibilities one has to take on when entering the working world.
