I just got out of a career training school but no one will hire me because i don't have any work experience.

How am i suppose to get experience if everyone is afraid to higher people with out experience

1. keep trying a job will come soon... don't give up.. just keep mailing and getting your cv out there..
2. get off the computer and stop asking backward questions - i can guarantee you that this mechanism has a 100% success rate
3. Tell the person you are interviewing with that you know you don't have the experience required, but you are a quick learner and just need someone to give you a chance. Tell the person to hire you on a provisional 1-month basis. At the end of the month they can re-evaluate and see if they want to keep you on payroll. This will show the employeer that you are flexible, hard working, creative, and that you really want the job. This has worked for me in the past when I changed careers.
4. Not everyone is afraid to hire a recent graduate, you just need to keep trying. You also may be overshooting on the jobs you are applying to (applying to jobs that require someone with experience versus entry-level jobs). No one's going to let you start at the top. Also do as much networking as you can. Get the word out that you are looking for a job and in what field. Talk to everyone you know--friends, aunts and uncles, neighbors, etc. And if your field has any associations, try joining as a member. You can find a lot of openings that way.
5. Why not offer to work 1 week for free to prove how good you are! You don't say what type of work you want so its hard to comment. If you are writing to people to ask if they will employ you then the correct spelling is 'HIRE' not 'HIGHER'. Good luck
6. Ironic, isn't it?
7. Didn't your school have job placement assistance? Talk to some of your instructors.
8. Do some voluntary work to gain experience
9. Do what I've told my son - if you can't initially get a job at the level and type you want, then don't aim so high. Get ANY job within reason, just to get on the first rung of the ladder. If you do, it will give you, not only work experience, but LIFE experience - and that is what employers want as well.
10. Keep trying but don't expect to start too high
11. Well volunteering can help you get a job because you'll have experience and references. If you got trained in computers, volunteer at a library and teach computers. If you got trained at the hospital, volunteer at the hospital.
