Some tips from me would be to approach a not for profit organization to build some e-learning training for them, so you can add some real experience to your resume.

I facilitated Dave Ramsey classes, which helped me to gain experience. You can also look into Graduate Degrees in Instruction Design, like Purdue University's Learning Design and Technology Program.
