Back when I was first trying to break into my field, the one thing that always struck me as completely ridiculous was the fact that almost all job postings for entry level positions required quite a bit of experience.

I ended up getting my first computer related job by helping a school get some stuff setup while I was out of work. They ended up offering me a job because they needed some part time help and I had done a good job with the volunteer work I had already done for them. I worked at the school for a little while which gave me some experience to put on my resume. After getting that initial job, it's been pretty easy to find additional jobs.
