How should you go about getting a job after graduation if you have no work experience?

You can't include work experience/history or applications or resumes if you don't have any, so what do you do instead? How does this affect your application process when you're looking for a career?

When transferring, do colleges and universities look favorably when you belong to multiple organizations or clubs or it is less important for a transfer student.
