I earned mine with no prior job experience, and started as low as junior engineer for a SME specialist engineering firm, with another 5 PhDs also in the same department, mixed of experience among them; the owner is a Dr too. After being employed for almost a decade, i'm now my own boss, also hired couple of fresh-grad PhDs, with no prior experience.
possessing the "pinnacle of an educational pursuit" sounds rather self-awareness to me. A young PhD is employed not for him/her being called Dr, let alone the job experience, it's other skills the employer sees.
if still in doubt. Try look for MNCs, they don't normally deter PhD applicants.
good luck

There are some arguments that over-qualified people lose out in job hunts in the corporate sector.
One reason I could think of is that hiring managers or HR reps may not want to be outshone by someone who has reached the pinnacle of an educational pursuit. They do not want to rock the organisational boat where everyone else has at most only a basic or professional degree.
Do you think having a PhD/DBA would deny the person a job which he normally would be able to obtain under normal circumstances?
