How do I get hired if I have no experience and everyone else has 3-5 years?

We recently reached out to Cord Harper, founder and CEO of Endeavor Agency, Inc., to ask him to share some of his wisdom with students, recent graduates and others who are early in their careers.

Candidates with little to no experience are often frustrated with employers rejecting them even for so-called entry-level roles in favor of others who have years of experience. If you don’t have any experience and so can’t get hired, how can you ever get the experience you need to get hired?

Cord has more than 15 years of experience as a career coach and has helped thousands of people of all ages navigate job searches and career transitions.
