I interned at my current work and then had both the established relationship with the other employees, and my past work acted as a credit so I got a higher paycheck. :)

Yep! It is very difficult to get a job with out experience, and you can't get experience unless you get a job.....

So volunteering is your best option :)

When I was a boy scout I volunteered to help elderly women cross a busy street. One of them hit me with her umbrella.
