How to get a job abroad without experience

Getting a job overseas is the most financially sustainable way to travel. Especially for recent university graduates, it comes with some seriously awesome benefits: your employer pays for everything (perfect, because college grads are broke and debt-laden!), your employer helps you through the visa process (perfect, because those mandatory language classes didn’t teach you to read legal documents!), and you suddenly have money to travel (PERFECT, THAT’S WHY WE ARE ALL HERE).
Not so fast.
If you thought it was tough getting a job at home with your shiny new bachelor’s degree, it’s even harder overseas.
I mean, how many companies really want to pay you to learn something from scratch on their dime AND pay a whole bunch of money to fly you over to do it? They can get interns from the local university for a fraction of the cost. In some countries *cough* America *cough* they don’t even have to be paid, because granting an internship is seen as an act of charity. You are literally competing with “free”. Ouch.
So, why should they care about you?
Why should someone pay a whole bunch of money to fly you over (plus pay you a proper salary, because labor laws, which apply only to foreign hires) to do something that a cheap free intern from the local university could do just as well?
