How can I get experience, if I can't get a job right now?

Are there any volunteering organisations in you area? or charities which need people to help them? obviously it wouldn’t be paid paid work, but it would get experience in this area of work. Obviously, being in the UK I don’t how it works over there, or what volunteering is available in your area. If you could find one that needs saff for clerical,phone work it could be a step to getting future employment in the are you want to work in.

my cousin is a medical assistant ..when she went to college just for 4 months well under 4 months, they had to spend 54 hrs in a clinic or hospital ..u know training getting prepared for the job..while n college so by the time she applied for a job she already did hands on training..and knew everything.. r u volunteering?

Volunteer. I’ve had 3 job offers from places I volunteered at.

I agree with Emma. Volunteering gives you work experience that you can list on your application AND references from people who worked with you.
