Getting a Job with No Relevant Experience

Catch22 - Cannot get a job without experience, so how do you gain experience without getting a job?

Perhaps you have more relevant experience than you think. 

Departing members of the military find themselves without relevant experience; however, the experience they have can be transferred to relevancy in the civilian world.  Leadership and command responsibilities are certainly required in business.

What about athletes?  Does catching a football or hitting a baseball constitute relevant job experience?  Many retired athletes have found jobs in the press and media.  Further the discipline and energy devoted to becoming an athlete are certainly qualities of business leaders.

A positive attitude, enthusiasm, and high energy are traits that are keys to successful business careers.

I found the following article that provides some good advice for individuals lacking work experience: “How do I get a job when I have no relevant experience?”
