Like others have said, you HAVE to put SOMETHING in that previous experience spot on your application. I'm pretty sure employers will just move your application out of the way if you leave that part blank. My mom happened to have a business grooming dogs, and I would help her out at times (or more specifically, be forced to help) for no pay, and I was able to put "assisstant groomer" as my previous job, and said that I had skills in "cleaning, customer assistance, and time management." I'm sure that helped immensely in my getting hired.

Also, like Fey said, make your demands as LOW as possible. Be available to work nights, weekends, whatever you need to, and don't ask for a ridiculous amount of money starting off. When asked what I would like to be paid, I said $5 an hour, which is technically less than they are forced to legally pay you now anyway.

Don't give up! There's stuff out there, you just need to grab it at the right time and never let it go!
