My first programming job was at a small company. The thing that really pushed my boss to hire me was that I took the concepts that we'd spoken about and implemented them in a simple example application. It was probably done the wrong way, but he told me later that that had really impressed him.

Having work that you can show these days is a must. Having work that is relevant to the position you're interested in is a leg-up.
