Thought I'd chime in as I am sort of in a similar type of situation as you.

It seems entry level jobs are hard to come by these days, even more so if you have no experience.

As mentioned by someone earlier, bigger companies can really drag their feet unless they absolutely must have you. I know this from experience and have been burned several times waiting around for an answer that never came, or spent weeks waiting only to hear they've hired internally/halted their hiring process.

I've also quickly learned that getting an interview/request for resumes means absolutely nothing, as many of the larger companies have very lengthy interview processes. To give you an idea, some of the companies I have interviewed with required a phone pre-screening interview, then two seperate follow up interviews which easily last more than 1 hour each time because you will be meeting some of the higher management staff at the local branch.

Usually what it comes down to is the amount of experience you have vs. the other candidates. Alot of companies simply do not want to invest the time to train, or simply just need someone who can hit the ground running. Sometimes you can get lucky and sneak in if you have managed to score an internship/co-op with these companies as they will have some familiarity with you and will be familiar with your work habits.

Also as mentioned earlier, don't let your interest for working at a larger company sway your decision because smaller companies will allow more growth, thus making you that much more valuable and well-rounded (you can always apply to larger companies later on).

Lastly, you probably don't want to lose out on firm A while you wait for firm B to respone. Then you'll be in a worse situation than now and be back to square one.

I say take what you get offered right now seeing as you have little experience. Right now your focus should be getting your foot in the door.
Just remember to not take the very first salary offer they give you and try to negotiate a bit.

Best of luck
