Yes it is possible. But it is hard sometimes. Anyway, if your friend has the right skills and the right attitude, he might as well get a job. But if he will be applying with someone who is more experience and is more skillful and knowledgeable than him, then he stand a very little chance.
i think we can still get the job without having any experience from it.. as i knew in the government, many people who worked in the government are not experienced in their job title but still can get that work... how?! well they have a relative or friend who back them up...
