I saw many places any one go to their interview, jobs, colleges, etc. organizations want experienced man why? why that people want every time experienced man? why they don't give a chance to newbies or newcomers?
I know experienced man do better work for the newcomer. But why that organizations don't understand, if that people give the chance to newcomer then newcomer got some experiences and they got some more new experienced man.
Or may be newcomers do better work for compare to experienced man.
What you think guys...

Experience mean he/she can adapted with the job faster than newbie. For some job, experience are essential to avoid any job risk.
But there is something that I don't like about this. If employer always looking for experience one, newbie never had a chance to proof that they also capable with that job.

If I'm employer of that job, I'll better reposition my old employees (job promotion). If my old employees not meet the job standard, I had to reach my pocket little bit deeper to pay experience one.
Sometimes company looking for experience person but they didn't want to pay more for that. I hate that ....

This will depend upon the discipline they are looking at.
New comers meaning fresh, they can make new things and apply new ideas.
Experienced ones are not always better over new comers.

This has been going on for over 40 years that I know of. After I went to school for running heavy equipment, I was told that they would have hired me if I had the same experience as I had training (I needed the training to get the licience to run heavy equipment).
Maybe you could tell the prospective boss that you will work for less than the normal until you get the experience and if you do the work well enough, that he/she will start paying you the same wages as everyone else does. If he/she takes you up on it, the boss will save money at first and you will get experience so that even if this first boss does not hire you, you will have some experience to tell other bosses that you have the experience.

This has been going on for over fourty years because after I went to heavy equipment school, I applied to many places and they told me that if I had the experience instead of the training, they would have hired me for that job. finally got a gob as a laborer and sometimes job to run the equipment. The boss had me on salary and the other guy on hourly rate. I was working 60 plus hours a week and the other guy was only getting to work 10 to fifteen hours a week. I only worked for that boss for about 6 months until I got a much better job with a city that had openings.
So maybe you could try to get a job at a lower rate and responsibilities to get the experience so that you will get your foot in the door. If they see that you are a good worker and an opening comes up in your area of expertise, you will have a better chance of getting it.
Another wly is to tell the prospective employeer that you will work for less for a certain amount of time and if you do the job good then the boss will give you the right amount of pay. The boss will not have to pay as much at first and can see how well you work. Even if he/she does not hire you, you will have some experience.

Experienced people rather tend to be trained in the fields that they are worked a bit more than people who are coming fresh into the work force, with wide eyes. It is no secret that companies hate spending any more money than they have to. On employees especially. So why would they really tend to train a person rather than have someone come in, already made?
Of course, it doesn't really work as well. Experience really might not be good experiences. There are times where people come in with attitudes and ideas, that are obviously not all that beneficial to the work force in general. That is really just one of those things that many people are going to really deal with. Newcomers can do some great work, but some people are afraid of entrusting responsibilities to someone without a proven track record. In this day and age, people are unwilling to take many risks.

That's because they don't want to spend (money and/or time) on the person that they're hiring. Experienced people already have the skill set, or at least know how to deal with clients and people in the office.
Of course it's not always true that experienced people are better hires than fresh graduates or first timers.

I think this is because people with experience when it comes to work will be easily trained. He was most probably already been doing what was supposed to be done on the same job. unlike someone who is only fresh out of college, then i would say that this person would still need to be trained and to be taught and to be supervised.

This is how things normally happen. Even girls wants experienced men to be their husband, just joking.
Anyway, companies when hiring people usually hire those who have past experience relating to the job because they wanted to get away from unnecessary expenses, like when they conduct trainings and other things. Those who have past experience also are expected to carry out their jobs immediately after they are hired.
Though, there are companies also who prefer to hire fresh graduates, or those who do not have past work experiences. Their reason is that they don't want to avoid those who will possibly become a problem for the company later on.

Because they're morons and they're also lazy. Know what you mean. A lot of them want someone with 5 years or more "experience". Whats a person supposed to do who just got out of school and really needs a job? They don't want to bother with having to train somebody.
You're right about new comers could do better work than the experienced. When I started in nursing assistance I was doing way better work compared to ladies that had been there for several years and often times a new comer is more willing to go above and beyond what is asked. Don't worry though. You will find something. There are smart and patient employers out there.
