Where does one get "entry level" experience?

 Entry level experience can be obtained via unpaid/paid internships or even volunteer work at a non-profit organization (even if it's for only 2-3 hrs a day/week).  Additionally, I would recommend finding a reputable temporary agency and getting a temporary job. Even a 3-6 month assignment could give you enough experience to land a permanent job. I would say that almost all employees start out as temps/coordinators/assistants and work their way up. Either that, or they have business experience and end up "falling into the role". Stay positive and an opportunity should come up!
