How do I get hired as a fresher with no experience?
Short answer
You cannot produce experience, but you can produce evidence of how you think, and that is what a small company is actually screening for. Work on something real, and write down the decisions as you make them. Thirty days of honest entries gives a founder something to read. An empty résumé gives them nothing.

What this does not do
Nobody is promised a job, an interview, or a reply. Freshers are the hardest case in any hiring market and a log does not change that — it changes whether anyone can see you at all.
Has this actually worked for anyone? One hire, every step, with the denominator — including what it does not prove.
