Frankly, you have no excuse if you want to do interactive and you graduate with zero experience. The opportunities surround you, the info is freely available, and the tools to practice are cheap and viable. What those employers are looking for (the ones you mention), are students who realized this from the get go, and who chose to seek those opportunities out.
Fact of the matter is, most of the jobs out there that you might want, or that you might fantasize about having while a student, those jobs usually require settling for a crappy one out the gate - unless you self-motivate and track down said opportunities beforehand. Trust me, the average client is far less prejudicial than the average employer.
You cant really blame a given employer for not wanting to hire someone with zero hands on deck experience, especially a place that refers to itself as an "Agency", they are looking for someone with a track record of teamwork, and proven repeated success in an environment similar to theirs. Try seeking out smaller shops that have a larger, more vested interest in their clients, the same is usually the case with their employees.
