I must agree that it's not easy to get a dispatch job without experience, airlines are not keen to spend too much on training these days. I've started as an half time push-back driver and after 2 years I made my way to the sick-house called dispatch, and later eventually expatriated myself for a better package (Switzerland is definately the most interesting place to work as an ops guy, scandinavia being close probably, Middle-East is going down salary wise unfortunately). As you obviously
have a qualified job in IT, I don't think you will be willing to start at the lower end, as I did. Anyway, you might find a job as an ops assistant, experience not really required, and could expect to climb the levels quite fast. As another user said, check often airlines websites employment opportunities, and of course flightinternational(.com)

Good luck anyway.

Cheers
