Ad for entry level job. They expect 5+ years of experience.

No one has ever solved that, which is why no one has a job.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! it sucks.

Started my first job washing dishes. Any one can do that. Next job was IT for workstudy, told the guy I needed the job and Im learning the stuff. In 9 months the only IT work I really did was see if 8 computers turn on and write down if they did or did not and the specs of the ones that turned on.

Started in catering for 3 months without any service experience, got the job from my moms friend.

Current job, working with kids, didnt have to much experience. Got the job because a guy I knew in highschool was the manager and his parents owned the place. Still working there a year later even though it blows.

You get experience by working crappy jobs. You will probably be doing menial tasks for unappreciative bosses while being tremendously underpaid, but that's how you get your start. Expect this to last for 5-10 years. Work smart, work hard and things will get better.

THIS!

I'm graduating from nursing school at the end of the semester and I can't find anything ANYWHERE that accepts people with less than two years experience.

We have an aging work force and a nursing shortage and still, hospitals won't hire new grads. Mother fucker.

Two ways to solve this:

a) start at the very bottom, do hard work for next to no money,
b) bullshit like a motherfucker.

The choice is yours.

I think it's called an "entry level position".

Goddamn that's how I am at the minute. In college, dad's got 3 weeks left of his redundancy notice due to no work coming into the company and I'm trying to find something to ease the pressure, at least enough to be able to pay my own for transport to college etc. Despite the decent grades nowhere wants someone who hasn't had experience. Who need's experience for a office cleaning job? Does my house count? Its frustrating for a first time job seeker.

There are employers out there who prefer little or no experience... they are just hard to find... just ask around. I find asking a friend of a friend is way more effective then send resumes everyday.

The most important thing you can do for yourself is to build good connections. Its not who you know but who knows you.

The tip I got from logging industry in BC was : most of em are super old, and they're starting to hire rookies again within the next few years.

Maybe not enough of a joke though

how to get a job without experience? show a strong ability to learn independently and demonstrate that knowledge to potential employers, as a hiring manager for app sec people i dont give a shit if they only worked at mcdonalds, if they can explain how to pop a SQLi (and a lot more) then they are hired.

How to get experience without a job? You volunteer for a free internship or otherwise whore yourself out in order to get the experience.

With a compsci degree, it was 2 months washing dishes, 11 months excel/access work, then finally they'd let me program. I had no idea how much they paid interns where i work, should have went with that.

If you have a skill set but no professional experience you invent the experience and use your friends as job references.

If you don't have the skills yet, build them on your own.

Depending on the job normally just being a huge pain in the ass is a great way to get a job. When I was 16 I literally called the place everyday for a week asking if they saw my application. After a week I finally got the interview and spent another half week of annoying till I got the job. Nailed it.

You start with remedial jobs and work your way up. My first job was working produce at Whole Foods and it was terrible. My second job was working as a prep chef. I got promoted a few times and ended up staying 4.5 years. By that time, I had also graduated from a respectable university. Part of that was professional development. I left college with a sick resume, mad interviewing skills, and TONS of work experience.

Don't ever not apply to a job because it says they need someone with more experience, unless it's a specialized or higher-up position. Otherwise you're just being self-defeating. If you don't have raw experience, try to think of a similar experience you have had or highlight your skills that the experience would have otherwise given you.

ha ha ha, embellish! so many jobs are got by personality. especially if you can sell yourself.

That's where internships, alternatively known as free labor, come in handy.

It's called work for peanuts, clean toilets, whatever it takes, then earn trust, then ask for some responsibility pertaining to the experience you want, then kick ass, then get the job.
