I have been working for 5 years straight for a company not in any way related to IT. That being said, I want to move to the IT business, most specifically networking but also for programming.
The most jobs I've found are very demanding; they require a middle to high-level of experience in the field. The few jobs as entry-level are overwhelmed with applicants. Say 50 apply for high-level and 300 for a job as entry-level.
Once you finish college, you cannot have any experience; that's the point of a job. In my particular case, I have a experience but it is not on their field. In other words, 5 years are equal to 0. My resume ain't the best but most certainly not the worst. yet, no one seems interested.
I tried sending mails containing a letter of intent plus my resume to a few companies but that didn't work.
Mostly, I apply through the means of a recruiting site but no calls sadly.
Any advice will be appreciated.
