Add your interests and abilities in lieu of actual working experience. Also include how excited you are to be joining the work force and hope to prove yourself quickly.

If you're just out of high school then you can add clubs that you belonged to. If you were an officer in any of them and participated in projects and activities that would be good too. Also, volunteer work that you might have done could be listed.
You could also get a job at someplace like McDonald's or Burger King for a while. This would not be a waste of time for you as employers use this history to check to see how responsible you might have been as an employee.
This also will apply for most college graduates, except your degree will take the place of short term employment at McDonald's.
Also, and this IS important, dress conservatively when you go in for an interview. Wear a suit if you have one. If not, pants and a sports jacket if you're a male and a conservative outfit if you're a female. Also, if you have tattoos cover them up and if you have piercings remove the studs. This advice applies if you are applying at most businesses particularly ones that have a moderately conservative image to uphold.
If you've graduated from a college then you probably won't need the short term job at McDonald's.

1 - try finding internships/volunteer work that is relevant to your profession. People hiring will always see the energy there. If your trying to get to A but can't because of experience, maybe take job B which is similar in A and can eventually get you there.
2 - speak to people in the industry to try and get in the door at any level. Don't think you can become the VP on your first try. Read up on industry magazines/websites.
3 - stay focused on your resume. A lot of resumes pack tons of garbage in. The person reviewing it or the hiring manager won't have time to sift through a lot of crap. Keep the resume short and tight.

Any volunteer work, any non taxed work such as childcare, tutoring, house sitting, etc. Be sure to add all education in depth. When you are lacking work experience the education is the most important.

Think of anything you have experienced that relates to the job your are applying for...ie :
maybe you are applying for work as a cashier and you have experience with money because you ran a bake sale for an organization. Think about anything you have done that relates to the position and list it.

Add volunteer experience, even if it was to volunteer @ a church.
