Alright ThinkTalkers, we're halfway through July and some of you might still be struggling with the job search. Monster Blog anticipated this (you're not alone -- the reality is that 8 percent of college grads under age 25 are still job searching) and gathered some tips from their Twitter community. So here is some advice from career experts and recent college grads in 140 characters or less:

@MeghanMBiro: Make the absolute most of internships. Find a mentor(s) - listen closely, ask ?'s. The career search is a full-time role.

@HRmajesty: #1 advice...Get rid of the cutesy e-mail (sexygirl69@hotmail.com) and use something more professional (your.name@gmail.com)

@phyllismufson: I'd like to see every parent give their graduating sr. a graduation gift of career coaching. It's criminal what these kids don't know.

@cargillcreative: My tip for college grads would be to join Toastmasters and develop a great set of public speaking skills.

@Red_Inc: Everyone LOVES to help fresh-eyed college grads. Network with anyone and everyone! Spread the word!

@EmilyBennington: Volunteer! Will help grow your network, allow others to see you in action, and develop your leadership skills @ same time.

@JackieLennartz: If recent grads can't find permanent work, they could consider doing internships. Great way to gain experience and network.

@Deferocoach: Reconnect w/ past professors. They often have inside info on new positions in a particular industry, you just need to ask!

@saran28: Learn to use the latest tools/technology in your field. That is what I am doing.
