This is in serious WTF territory... can someone please explain how one obtains experience in a given industry when nobody gives you a chance to begin with?
Oh, and the 5 years of work experince you do have to show for is with stuff FAR more complex than the job you are seeking, as if there is some kind of secret behind what they do...
FWIW: I regularly advertise for office assistants @ $12/hr. I get hundreds of resumes from folks with MBA's and years of technical experience, etc.

Instead of the "shotgun" approach, I would target specific companies, find out who is who as far as hiring, then go visit them in person.
