^ Yeahh its an awkward cycle but wouldn't the most common thing be to start of as a volunteer and build yourself up?

Some employers prefer to employ those who are already working. :hmm: It does depend on the job, volunteering does help, but it is a slow process. For some jobs, it is who you know, not what you know.

For example, when I was at college, students in my law and practice class were having a tough time finding a job. One girl was working at Human Resources Department because her mom was a Human Resources Manager. She then managed to get a job in a Probate Department. In order to get a law job in the current economics mess, you need experience, probably 2-3 years, minimum is 6 months. She is clueless when it comes to Wills and Probate, she has never studied the subject. She got in because, a friend helped her. Apparently, she met this "friend" in a pub who was working at the department.

It would definitely help. Volunteering, doing internships try to do it all if you're going to uni. There are resources at the university to help. A lot of people don't bother with this is while they're studying and later find it too hard to find jobs because they don't have any experience volunteering or otherwise.
