I know this is not a favourable option.....but fast food (in particular mcdonald's) is the best form of experience and the easiest way to get it too.
BELIEVE ME, I worked there for two years and I have had a few job offers, but I've decided that I won't get a job until the second semester because I wanna concentrate on my first two terms of uni and get settled. I don't wanna have a full schedule straight off...
But yeah, my experience at maccas has really bulked up my resume, and has helped me get jobs in the past that has also added to my experience. It's definately a fantastic stepping stone. But again, I know it's unpopular, even some ppl see it as degrading, but it can be fun....the store I worked at had great ppl and I enjoyed MOST (not all, some of it got really tiresome and demanding) of the time I had there.
Good luck though.

I KNow beggars can't be choosers but i don't want to work in fast food (eg maccas,kfc)??? It's pretty contradictory of me to want a job but not want to work somewhere but i can't see myself flipping burgers at maccas!!! I think a cafe would be more my scene....perhaps mcafe
......I never once flipped a burger -- I worked in drive thru mostly, and it was pertty cushy, I got to watch tv when I had finished racking fries (putting the frozen fries into the baskets) and doing some light cleaning.
Seriously, you can't knock something till you've given it a go.

I've been working in a place called Nando's, its a chicken shop, not full fast food like maccas and not so much a restrurant - kinda in between
anyway after 3 yrs working there, I'm now a shift manager, which will be very impressive for a resume - shift manager @ 18 yrs of age.
So yeah, watever the job, any job looks better than no job on a resume.
