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.
“You don’t have enough experience” well when am I ever gonna get the experience if you don’t show me
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
"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
It should be illegal to call a job "Entry Level" when 3+ years experience isn't exactly a beginner.
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.
Politician: “We’ve created millions of new jobs!” The jobs:
"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."
Because employers keep on asking for 3-8 years of experience for entry level positions, and pay peanuts for it.
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."
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."
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!”
And the worst part is if people blaming YOU saying you're not applying enough. Basically blaming you
I went into Five Guys and they said they don’t do interviews, HR does! What a joke, to flip burgers corporate gets involved?!
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.
Job hunting has turned into a dating app, with the same results.
We've made so much "progress" as a society and yet our lives are more stressful and meaningless than ever. How ironic.
