 A foot on the ladder
How is anyone supposed to get into I.T. if all the jobs advertised require at least 12 months experience... which I don't have.
Maybe I'm aiming to high, but I can't find any jobsites on the net or adverts in papers which offer entry level vacancies.
Anybody got any ideas? I am Based in the U.K.(West Midlands)..

Entry level jobs usually aren't advertised. You may have better luck calling companies directly. Email works to, but the response usually isn't as good. Also keep in mind that the skills that the advertisments ask for, and the skills that are accepted in reality are two very different things.

Be prepared to put in the time and effort to find something. It took me nearly a year and a half to get something full-time, not temp work. However, if you're in the position to do temp work, there always seem to be desktop migration projects, cabling projects, etc. that temp companies need people for. These may not pay great, but it could open some doors, even possibly something full-time at the company where the temp agency places you.
Get some initial certs, too. (Which it appears you're working to achieve.)
