Office jobs?

I really want a office job but I don't have any experience working in one. I can type really good and I know how to use a computer. But everyone wants someone with experience. How is someone to get experience if they can't even get the job?

Try Temp agencies, they can help you.

Apply for some Admin jobs through your local temp agencies, which will allow you to get some experience. They will ask you to take a typing test- if you can type as well as you say, then you'll ace the test and experience wont matter a bit. Good luck!
A good way to get experience is to work or volunteer at a local church. That way you can gain experience. In the mean time get a job where ever you can. That's how I got started and I've worked my way up to office supervisor. Good luck!
Temp agency is a great idea. Brush up on your computer skills.
try a temp agency. they should test your skills and match you to a job. this will enable you to improve your skills. they agency can also advise you how to improve your skills to be more attractive to employers.
Temp agencies are good. Go for a reception position for starters and then work your way from there. Alot of the agency's may not require experience just the willingness to learn when it comes to receptioning.
That was my problem too a number of years back. I registered with an employment agency. I worked for a number that placed me all over at a lower wage. Eventually I got quite a bit of experience and was finally hired in permanently by an employer. Stick to the more reputable ones like Kelly Services, Manpower, Adecco, Spherion, etc.

If you live in Canada, this site has advertisements from the employment agencies as well as from employers directly. My suggestion is stick with the agencies for now:
