Experience on-the-job

This is one that always gets me: all of the job ads that I see want so much (# years’) experience on the job. But if you don’t have it already, how do you get hired/ Make it up? The people who have this magic ingredient got it because SOMEONE HIRED THEM TO BEGIN WITH! If you can’t get hired, THEN YOU CAN’T GET THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED TO GET HIRED!! HR people don’t know and could care less(beccause they’re already hired), and they NEVER WILL figure it out, either. This is by far the biggest frustration for me in my job search.
