Dear Mr. Kowsari:   Your situation is not unique.  It sounds like you are
in the classic position of  "they won't hire me because I don't have the
experience, but how can I get experience if they don't hire me..."  I would
suggest you try to get an internship that pays a stipend.  It won't be
much, but internships are an excellent way for museum professionals, who
are just starting out, to gain valuable experience.   However, you also
need to look into the possibility that in your field of interest, you may
need to get a graduate degree in order to progress beyond entry-level
positions.

Good luck with your job search-

Subject:        Thank you for posting job offers in here.

As a recent graduate in archaeology, I am finding it difficult to find a
job.  Even with my Bachelor's degree, Museums are not willing to hire me
or lack the funding to employee me. I am currently working in a Volunteer
position, and am seeking employment. If any of you know what approaches to
take, please e-mail me. I thank you for your time.

Mr. Mehrdaud Kowsari
