Don’t narrow your search right after graduation (or even later) to just your dream job. View each job as a step, gaining experience on your way to the dream job.
If you see an available job that you are really interested in, you have some but not all of the preferred qualifications, and you believe you have transferable skills that would apply, make your case in your resume and cover letter and go for it.
Have someone proof-read your resume and cover letter before you submit it.
Tailor each resume and cover letter you submit for that particular job; use keywords from the job description (always remain truthful, though!) to help ensure your resume doesn’t get auto-filtered out by an applicant tracking system, which many large employers use.
