    If you have experience of working, but want to work and employers require 'experience,' how do you get a job?

    put a mate down as a reference and lie on your CV to pretend youhave experience, if your good enough at your job it will never come back on you again

    Read the wikipedia page for the job.

    Twice.

    Experience is no substitute for wielding the sum total of human knowledge of the job.

    Everyone has some sort of experience. You must have babysat for 20 mins when your mum went to the shop? Or got 2 euro for cutting your uncle's grass every month? You don't put this stuff on your CV but it shows that you did some sort of worthwhile activity if you didn't work when you were at school.

    Now the OP just has to go out and find all those grass-cutting and babysitting jobs!

    Let's hope his mum didn't offer it to his sister since she had more experience.
