PoserMocap is right...if the not-entry-level job is there, it's because they want to have someone hit the ground running (so to speak). If you want to work your way up in anything, start with a temp agency. They test your skills, and fit you with the right job. If there's no fit, there's no fit, but don't discount them at all. They can find you temporary work, or they can find you the start to a pretty lucrative career. I've heard stories on all ends of the spectrum.
In this economy, you have to settle. In my area (Detroit suburbs), kids aren't getting the summer jobs that most of us had growing up, so trying to find a job as an adult is just as daunting a task. But, your best bet is to settle. If you find something, you're REALLY lucky. Even working at a gas station is preferable to not having a job at all and losing everything, right?
