Of course, some people understand that about experience. Smart people hire smart people...

I've never cared much for the big resume people. I've had bad experiences managing people with 4.0 GPA's in computer science that are supposed to be great. Give them a test question like they got in school, they do great. But something goes a little "off" the books and the curriculum they were taught and they can't debug at all. Then some college dropouts who are computer wizards do great without the resume...

You need to find an employer with a little vision...and you will eventually get someone who sees through the "needing experience" and give you a shot...but the bigger issue is that times are tough.
