Fill out as many applications as you can get your hands on in every field you have any interest in and tell them honestly that you have no experience but are willing to learn. If no one calls you back go and personally talk to them and tell them face to face that you want the job they are offering. Be diligent and seek out exactly what you want. Don't settle for less than you are worth!

If it's in the Film/TV Industry, start out as a PA (Production Assistant)..a runner, best boy/girl, crowd control, if you know how to drive picking up equipment and such.
Use connections or go out networking and meet people in the film industry. Listen like your life depends on it (your future job does anyway) and when you have some names and know the lingo apply for a PA job. You can always move up as you learn. Start out as an Independent Contractor..which means you work per job with different crews until you luck out and get hired long-term by a production company.
Most importanly: always say : "yes" and " I'm on it" even if you have no idea what your immediate supervisor is telling you. Then go ask another crew member to explain what you don't understand. Always be on top of things as a PA. As you work you'll learn. You might have to work for free a few times...sometimes you just HAVE to get some experience if you are starting from scratch. I went to NYU Tisch School of The Arts for Film Production. Still, school is NOTHING like working on a real set so get your feet wet as a PA. It's the best job you could do without much experience. You can look for crew jobs on Craigslist.org or Mandy.com.
Good luck!

Well we all have to start somewhere. Voluntary work experience can be a good way to get started, especially if your chosen career is a hard one to get into. Also think about the experiences and skills you have and how you could apply them to the role you are seeking. Then explain how the skills you have would be useful in the covering letter used in the application and again at interview stage. e.g, if you have been a captain of a sports team or something, you can demonstrate your leadership, organisational and teamwork skills through this experience which would be handy for most jobs

Depends on the type of job you want. Temp agencies are a good place to get jobs that require little or no experience. They help you get a foot in the door, plus on the job experience. Plus most temp agencies offer computer software program training that you can take, it's self paced, but a good way to get some free training.

As friends and family too, people you know can often be a great resource to find work.

Students can get help by talking to their career counselors.

50% of the jobs out there are not listed online or in the paper, so getting out a looking in person can be to your benefit too.

Unemployment agency websites offer online job-banks that list job openings. Plus you can find information on career/job fairs.

1 Connections with other people already in a field

2 Work from the bottom up. Apply for low-paying jobs.

3 If all else fails, volunteer to gain the necessary experience. Work for free.

Are you energetic? Are you self motivated? Are you money hungry? I can help you get a job. Let me know if you feel a sales position would fit your personality. Sales positions are usually the best way to make money, basically you earn what you sell.

You can get a job any time there are entry-level positions, or any where you see no experience necessary.

Thanks,

Unless you were born yesterday, you have experience doing something. List hobbies and interests and this will tell an employer where your interests lay. Also, many jobs require no experience. Like washing cars, mowing lawns, and delivering papers. Many gas stations will also consider you if your old enough and train you on the job.

Good Luck!

Easy! Just apply and do an interview. The problem is that you probably don't just want a job, you want THE job.
For example if you want to be a jockey, you need to start as a stablehand.
If you want to be a marketing executive, start as the office roustabout.
