You need to start somewhere. The first truly good job I had, I started as an office assistant and worked my way up to an AVP. You just need to get in, work hard and show them what you can do.
Good luck!

are you really looking? i mean really. I have a lot of friends who tell me that they are broke because they can't find a job. but the thing of it is i know that you can always find a job. if your simply applying to 1 to 3 places a week yeah it will be hard to land a job. life sucks looking for a carreer sucks ( i am actually in the middle of this) but if you don't put your effort into it then it will show.
heres what i mean.
say you apply to 15 places in a week.( at least.) you end up will three interviews.
the first interview you are going to not be so nervous and desperate because you know that you have two more lined up behind it. so, when your interviewing youll look a) more confident and b) more youself.
after doing this. if all the interviewers turn you down. (which is possible.) write them saying thank you for your time and simply ask
"what was it that prompted you to not hire me so as i may improve my future carreer opprotunities"

It's because so many jobs have been outsourced. Some guy in India has your perfect job. You have to be willing to start at the bottom with a crummy job and work so hard that you will get noticed. It takes time to work your way up.

You have to start at the bottom with crummy jobs and prove you're worthy of a good job. Experience, in general, is more valuable than education.
Many employers require education, but they value experience more. Education doesn't prove you can do much. Experience proves exactly what you can do.

Graduating now a days doesn't guarantee a job. You just have to apply, apply and apply. You might have to settle for a lesser job in the mean time. But don't stop reaching for the stars.

Ahh yes the 'experience' paradox. You can't get a job because you don't have any experience and you can't get experience because you don't have a job. Welcome to the wonderful world of a graduate. Let me know if you find the answer.

Keep your head up. Take a base job and do it very well. You will succeed with that attitude.
