A career in surveying, with no experience - where to begin?

I graduated last year with a degree in Real Estate Management (RICS accreditted) and i now want to start my APC. Every employer out there (that iv come accross) wants someone with some experience. i have none, but i feel that i am more than capable of success in the field. Does anyone know of any firms that would be prepared to give me a chance to prove myself?
