"Im sorry your child's application for kindergarten has been denied, he does not meet the minimum 2+ year experience required, good luck in your search" that's how idiotic "entry level experience" sounds
Its because employers refuse to train people. There is no worker shortage. There is a shortage of cheap labour.
I should've gotten a job 20 years ago instead of being 5 years old.
All of this changed in my lifetime. Imagine being told all your life how to be successful only to enter adulthood and find out it’s all wrong.
The worst part is if you have a parent who grew up in a different time and thinks you're just being lazy
It should be illegal to call a job "Entry Level" when 3+ years experience isn't exactly a beginner.
Politician: “We’ve created millions of new jobs!” The jobs:
I see people in HR complain about people applying for jobs they're not qualified for. You wanna know why people do that? Because they've already applied for all the jobs they ARE qualified for but never got a response. So then you start looking for jobs you're SORT OF qualified for and cross your fingers. At the end of the day, everybody needs a job. And they're going to keep clicking that "apply" button until somebody says "yes."
The ‘70s: “I’d like to apply for a job, please?” “You have a pulse! You’re hired! Are you wearing a tie? Clearly you’re management material!” Today: “I have a master’s degree and speak three languages.” “We also require three years of experience!” “But this is an entry level job!” “Please leave before I call the police!”
Companies deadass sit here and say "Yeah you're gonna need a degree to do something we could easily train you to do, as well as a minimum five years of experience, despite the fact that no one else will hire you either so you can't get the experience."
And the worst part is if people blaming YOU saying you're not applying enough. Basically blaming you
Fake job postings are the most evil thing to do as a job employer. It creates an enviroment worldwide that causes people lose faith in the system, it is gaslighting at highest level pushing you into thinking that your decent portfolio belongs into the trash and without any decent feedback at all.
My parents refused to believe I had a hard time finding a job. They assumed I self-sabotage out of laziness/anxiety even though I offered to show them lists of places I applied to. It took a friend their age to make them see reality since she was looking for a job as long as i have with the same results - almost a year of sending 100+ applications and maybe 2-3 interviews. I finally got a job through someone who recommended me.
It's impossible to get an entry level job, because they require 3 years of experience, but you can't get experience, because you need experience to get experience. That is super flawed.
Ghost jobs should be ILLEGAL.
Cyberpunk dystopia where everyone would turn to a criminal because that's easier is getting really close
i asked a manager point blank why they didn't hire me, she said most people's applications get filtered through their ai. i realized we entered a dystopian future at that point.
50+ applications 5 years of experience "We're sorry to inform you but we decided for someone else"
"Just walk into the building, find the manager, give him a firm handshake and ask for a job." "That may have worked in your days but if I try that today, best case they'll tell me to fill out an online application, worst case they'll call security."
