Current Events > Entry-level job asking for 3 years of experience

(+) Yeah! (+)

A baby that was born at 3 years old

That's basically the same logic

yeah I've seen those. maybe they get too many applicants or something and just want to dissuade people from even trying...

But I was told no one wants to work...

---

i love those.

This, our firm is doing the same because we're getting +1000 applicants and there is no way in hell we are going through all of them.

Maybe you should just work harder. Now go do your JOB!

I've started to apply to every entry level job that asks for 3 years of experience or less if I match all the other requirements

>5 years experienced of expert level needed with Windows server 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019

uh...

Entry level jobs now want experience and college degrees and stuff. Its unrealistic, but they have sky high job requirements and want to pay you mcdondalds wages. Nobody gets a college degree to make $12/hr.

Hell, you could apply to Target and start at $15 with no experience lmao

Nah, we're using some service to filter our resumes already, the problem is I think most people are wising up to the filter's algorithm so we have to add more scary stuff to scare people away. I mean our level entry job is paying 70k+benefits, so it's very attractive for an associate accounting position.

Exactly. There are so many places who want to pay &15/hr or less that demand a masters degree and experience. You can barely scrape by with $15/hr in most places and that little money wont help pay off college.

$15/hr is the new $50k-$60k per year to so many places.

I recently applied to a mom-and-pop business that just opened up, that was looking for entry-level graphic designers. I applied, showed them some of my work and their response was to the effect of "if you haven't had much professional experience, why should we hire you?".

What about the one where the developer saw a job posting asking for five years of experience for a software that he developed only three years prior

companies are literally fucking stupid

This is actually what today's resume filters look like

• Case law and management
• Court attendance
• Billing and report reviews
• Ad-hoc reception work
• Assisting other employees
• Work on weekends when busy

Salary: 14,000

Like fuck off lmao

Get a head hunter or make it someones sole task to go through them.

Its because recruiting is BS and employers dont know what they need. There's job for technologies that require like 10 years of experience when the technology they request was only created like 3 years ago... tells you a lot about the quality of the company lol. Not even the creator of the technology would qualify to their random ass criteria.

It's bullshit.

No counterargument to be had.

you forgot

-Minimum wage

---

*requires publications*

it's hard to write publications when you don't get paid for it.

The entire hiring process tbh

Lots of jumping through hoops, lack of transparency and HR managers that know nothing about the job.

You spend 30 minutes of a resume and never hear from a human from that company ever again lmao

And oftentimes drug tests. Youre expected to never have a private life. When youre not at work, you are supposed to sit around in your work clothes or uniform with your phone in hand, eagerly staring at it, waiting to be called in without notice to work.

Doctors appointment? Cancel it. Giving birth? Wait another day. Someone you know passes away? Tough.

---

One of the biggest arguments for being self-employed is honestly not having to deal with such broken hiring practices.

It's what our HR team is doing, but this year is the one where they're getting the most resumes so they're already backlogged. I knew increasing the wage from 63k to 70k would've resulted in this happening, but no one from top management ever listens to my advice lol.

I saw an ad the other day for a junior position requiring 5 years experience in said position

lmao what
