If you have any experience in the workforce, you know the reality. There's this catch 22 with the demand of experience from employers. The catch 22 is if you don't have experience, you can't get job. If you don't have job, you can't get experience.
However, there are some who land a job of their choice without experience. My way of looking at this rarity. Above all, they are gifted with easily likeable personality who are good at making friends and are articulate (perhaps by nature). They may have had gained some experience from non-paid work (volunteering). ** Volunteering to gain experience may be ok for young people, but its feasibility to reduced for people who are not so youung due to their need for money to survive. ** Last, maybe they're just good at lying or got lucky.
I'd like to know what you think or what your experience was like with this catch 22 experience thing.

Thanks for your response, but my observation and experience is that EMPLOYERS DON'T REALLY COUNT EDUCATION AS EXPERIENCE. They tend to put education as something that you play around with.

You are right about that. the only way around that i have found is to vollunteer. If you do that you can learn who the key people are and when a position opens. You will have a greater chance that even someone with exsperience. Sometimes you can even get free training at schools that they will gradly pay for. Hope this is helpful. I know the drill

YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE, & ONCE YOU GET THERE, YOU DEVELOPE A WORK HISTORY, TO BE ON THE JOB, AS REQUIRED, AND ON TIME. USUALLY SOMEONE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO, & HOW TO DO IT, YOU MIGHT FIND THAT YOU HAVE TIME TO WORK A SECOND JOB, & YOU COULD DEVELOPE ADDITIONAL SKILLS, BY CONTINUING YOUR EDUCATION, & THEN THE REST BECOMES HISTORY. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE DEMAND OF EXPERIENCE FROM EMPLOYERS, THAT IS WHY AN EDUCATION IS SOMETHING THAT NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE AWAY FROM YOU.

Not really a catcvh 22 becuase different employers like different things. some like experience so they don't have to rain, others like inexperience so they can train them the way they nned them to work, but to answer your first question, to get a job without experience, it will most likely depend so much on personality, and ambition.
