How do you get a job in IT field with no experience?
I just got bachelor in IT and couldn't find any decent job to get experience. So I did some research and people said comptia A+ and network+ are good way to start if I have no experience in the field. So I've got them but I still can't find any decent job. Even entry position like help desk from nobody ask so much. What the heck am I suppose to do now? I am studying for CCNA now but I can't even find a job to get experience. It's not like they count bestbuy geek squad as experience. :(

Continue studying. The studying will help you in the long run. It sounds like you're looking into computer networking, so the best and easiest way to get some experience is with a home lab if you don't have one already. For the lab, don't just focus on one vendor as you will never see a single vendor environment in the real world.
Ask your school to help you with finding a job. Most if not all colleges will help grads and under grads with finding interns and careers. Search for tier 1 position which is your basic little to no experience, just graduated along with vendor certs type of position. Yes, someone will count bestbuy as experience because IT is more than just knowing how to fix something, it's also about providing customer service. Customer service and IT go hand and hand and most people go into the field not realizing this.
Keep in touch with your classmates. At some point, one of your classmate will land a job and could potentially give you a good recommendation. Do not overboard your résumé with topics you don't know. Most interviews are based on your résumé or should be at least. If an interviewer starts asking question that are not based on what you put on your resume, and you don't know the answer, kindly tell the interviewer it is out of your knowledge base and didn't put that on the résumé.
You should try to do something that separates you from other applicants. When I was getting ready for the CCNA, I started a CCNA study group with my classmates in order to prepare for the exam and this made me stand out and get an offer for a position.
