Yes.

And in any case, you will gain experience. One of the reasons many (not all) companies are open to new hires is that experience can be acquired.
(A small subset of companies that are especially open to new workers who have not previously worked at the company don't just say "Sure we're open to new hires, what experience would you like to show us?" but rather just ask you for what skills/experiences you bring to the table. Companies are generally open to that because they realize it gives them a chance to see what you can do.)
