How Are Biochemists Supposed To Find Jobs Fresh Out Of College, If Almost Every Job Requires Experience?

College Jobs
I’m a biochemistry major and almost every job I find online requires at least 2-5 years experience or some kind of masters degree. How in the world are we supposed to get that experience if companies won’t hire us to begin with?
This is really frustrating. Besides internships (a few months), where am I supposed to get 2 years experience fresh out of college? I want to start working right away and to do that I need a job right away.
Advice?

Try checking colleges and universities near you. Send your resume to any that are looking for research assistants. That is a position not requiring experience. Or check for a job as a lab tech in factories, they typically require only a 2 year degree so you’d get put on the top of the application pile. The hours stink but the pay is awesome (I’ll make over $65,000 this year.)
