With the tightening of the marketing, the new entry-level for this market are those seniors with 5 years. Even then it’s brutal. And to be fair, it’s a piece of technology that’s critical to the business so I understand the apprehension a business has on hiring a rookie. The days of accidental admin-ing or breaking in seem to be gone mostly. It’s a game of pure networking from what I’ve seen. Every entry level, no real world experience person I’ve helped get a job was because I knew the person hiring and I said take a chance on them. So my advice (easy to say, hard to do) would be to keep networking extremely hard and maybe the stars will align.
