erm, don't lie so you get caught. If you say you have experience on something you don't, it's all to easy to be replaced.
Truth is, there's not jack out there. You, me, and millions of others are out there in the same situation. Sadly, I'm actually in the same place; but when you have all the candidates you want (and even more), you can be as picky as you want.
I don't know the art world (I fixed color printers, that's as close as I got) but I've been perusing the 3d art mags. Do you have a portfolio? Some samples of your artwork that you can show, might help, if you can get in the door.
The current 'fashion' for getting jobs is all about 'contacts', finding people on the inside of a company, or someone who knows something, so you can brag (I'm not making this up) about how good you are.
Just keep plugging at it, I suppose. Sometimes you can get on with a temp agency, but I've almsot gotten old in the past waiting on that. Still, sometimes you can use that to get some job experience. hope you find something.
If you want, I've got some US URL links I can send you for job resources, but even those haven't been much of a help. Still, if you want 'em, just let me know.
I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
