Similar question, north SF Bay Area (Sonoma, Marin). I got a BS in CS last year and all of the entry-level jobs require 3+ years experience. Even the fast-food jobs require prior experience, no joke. I am currently back in school to refresh my IT skills, but I will be in the job market again in two months so I may as well start looking now. Is anyone in my area hiring inexperienced developers?

Well, you have to get creative with what you call experience. Don't lie, just "get creative". If you spent three years in school coding and working on programming projects, you have three years of development experience.

I'd suggest applying for those jobs anyways. Often times the boilerplate on a job posting has little relation to the employer's expectations. HR wrote that, copying what similar postings look like.
