How do I get a job with little to no experience?

Currently a SGunited Trainee fresh grad seeking full time opportunities. Employers keep saying I do not have enough experience but how do i even get experience when it I am not given the opportunity to gain one. Feels like I'm stuck in a loop of never ending rejection. Is there anyway to break this loop?

Hey OP!

In addition to the answers already posted here, I wanted to add on 1 more thing: document everything you're learning in detail & show it somewhere where potential employers can see it. Maybe on Medium, for example, or Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. And then make sure they can easily find this 'repository' of your learnings! (e.g. put the link on your LinkedIn profile)

You may not be at the stage where you're able to create a portfolio of work yet, and that's fine! Everyone needs to start somewhere, right? But getting to that stage will take some time, and the bills aren't going to wait for you. So instead, show potential employers that you're getting better at your skills. Prove to them that you're growing with clear takeaways from whatever you're learning. Because then, it becomes clearer to them that you're actually doing something, which increases your employability in their eyes.

Ultimately, employers want to trust that the person they hire for a job, can actually do that job. And by making it clear that you're learning & growing, it can help to increase the level of trust they have in you as a potential candidate. Hope that helps :D

Starting your career can be tough! A common frustration amongst fresh grads is feeling as though they 'need to have experience in order to gain experience'. Don't stop sending out applications, and consider widen your search/requirements slightly. Even if you have to take a lower level position initially, experience is still experience!

As others have mentioned, consider building up your portfolio in your own ways. Learn and truly master different tech stacks. Take courses and licenses to beef up your resume. With a good attitude, you'll make it in the end!
