To get hired in O/G: go to an O/G school (UT, TAMU, CSM, OU, LSU), get a Master's degree (preferably related to O/G), have high GPA, do Imperial Barrel Award competition, have 1 or more internships and knock your project out of the park - get these at job fairs (at your school and AAPG-SEG Student Expo, Rocky Mountain Rendezvous) & develop presentation skills.
And even with doing ALL of this, it's still tough as hell.

Very true. I've seen great candidates not get hired. You have to be top notch nowadays to get hired with no experience.
But, things will eventually improve because the senior people that are left will eventually retire. Us mid career people are not very many. We are supposed to fill their void but not likely. The early career people are also not very many. We could be begging for people in a few years.
