Ive been looking for a new job for the last month/ month and half. I've been looking for something computer maintenence/ network administration sort of job.

Most of these types of careers however require 1/2/3 years worth of experience working on networks/ computer diagnosis/Working with linux/win server 2003. But only require GCSE's at C level.

I however have some personal experience in home networking, and diagnosing and repairing friends PC's etc. But I have a BTEC national diploma in ICT.

How the fuck am I supposed to get a job, with no experience when all jobs require it? Or how am I supposed to get experience when all jobs require experienced people to join their team? I dont mind having to travel, as most of these types of jobs/careers are in manchester or liverpool (both about 20 miles away from me).

I've been looking at a different approach. What if I setup a home network (with a server running win server 2003/fileserver/ ftp server etc) and gain a form of experience this way? Would this class as a form of experience or would it just be a complete waste of time and money?
