I had a similar issue when I first started. They loved my qualifications but I couldn't find work because there were others who had the experience over me. But it just involved being a bit more creative and taking some extra time in my case to build up my practical skills.

Volunteer work can be extremely helpful. It gives you the experiences working with people etc. and a good reference. Also, I ended up working for a while in a volunteer and then paid position providing direct care in the disability sector. It didn't exactly relate to my qualifications but it gave me a range of experiences that I could use in interviews including:
- working with challenging behaviours
- managing crisis situations with clients
- communicating with individuals who struggle to communicate and have unique communication styles.

It also gave me all of the buzz criteria that they like - working independently and as part of a team, communication skills, advocacy skills, planning and negotiating priorities, meeting deadlines etc.

It took an extra year on top of my degree but gave me the skills for an entry level position in the area I wanted to work and has now led to me being able to work towards where I want to end up.

I would really suggest looking at the selection criteria for positions you are interested in and imagine you were the interviewer. Think about where the gaps may be and ways you could look at building skills to fill those gaps. That might be through paid work, volunteering or charity work. They all help to give you skills and examples to use at an interview.

Good luck!
