How do you find a job in IT with no experience?

Question

Just graduated with a 3.0 GPA in MIS but can't get a job without experience and can't get the experience without finding a job!

Answer 1

You employability depends on what you did on the side while going to school. What you learned beyond your school work. What programs did you write, what networks did you maintain, etc. Because without having a bunch of extracurricular experience, your degree is not that useful.

I would rather hire an experienced teen age hacker with a GED than a person with a masters and no experience.

If you were not enough into computers to do a pile of extra stuff while at school, it is very, very hard to get a job. This is the test the schools do not tell you about.

Look at Bill Gates. At high school he sold car counting systems to a city in Canada for collecting traffic data. And he and Paul Allen got Microsoft going while they were still college students.

Chatting with hirng managers or recruiters would enlarge you chance to get hired. Here is the place for you: Jobirn.com. I wish you can find yourself ideal position.  

Answer 3

Its the old catch 22 isnt it? Perhaps you can volunteer your services to gain experience, looks good on your cv too. Approach the businesses you have applied for and ask them for their suggestions. Alot of execs are happy to point you in the right direction and may know of an opportunity even if you were not the right candidate for their position. Dont hassle them or whine, be proffessional about it. Even showing you're serious and commited can turn peoples heads. Dont give up, everyone has to start somewhere...Good Luck!!
