The Catch-22 of Job Experience

When I wrote a post a couple weeks back about my first official job rejection, I invited others to share their own stories in the comments. I was amazed to see the number of responses. It was a veritable smorgasbord of frustrated job seekers. One common complaint, especially from recent graduates was the Job Experience Catch-22.  In other words, you need experience to get the job, but you can't get experience without the job. It's an incredibly frustrating cycle that is absolutely demoralizing to job seekers.

But there has to be some way to get out of this trap, right? Brad Karsh, of JobBound.com and AdAge's Ask Brad Column, gave some advice in an interview with FOX Business.
