I'm an instructor at a college in Florida. A recent graduate from my university emailed me and asked me that question. Basically, she wanted to know what does she do if she has her degree but has no work experience. She claims that she has been on 5 interviews in various fields and that each of them seems to have gone well. However, she never gets a call back. She hasn't tried to apply for a position in her field of study yet. She claims all the jobs require a degree AND 2-3 years work experience. I told her to apply for an internship, and say that she'll even work for free for a month just to counter the lack of experience. She seems to be displeased with that answer and I want to provide her with positive feedback. Yet, I'm sorta lost on whatelse to say other than, try and find a related field, work for cheap if you need to, then apply for other positions elsewhere. If you were in my position, what would you tell her? What other ideas could you suggest?
