I have seen many jobs on monster.com and indeed.com and all the jobs for SQL DBA requires atleast 3 years experience. Then how can a newbie get a dba job?

Here are a few ideas:
- if you have development experience, focus on how it relates to Database
- look for Junior DBA positions
- keep on working at things and reading in your spare time, at least this will help in an interview

You can try for the positions, but be honest about your level of experience.

It is my experience that most work ads overstate the requirements; they ask for three years but will find one year acceptable. Apply for the job...
