The job market this days is so disingenuous, they ask for experience in the most basic level jobs, I remember the frustration I felt. After starting working, looking from the inside I realized how unjustified those requirements are, whatever job you start there's always going to be a learning period in the beginning, even if you do have experience, because every workplace is a little different and you are gonna have to learn how to work in that particular place, so for entry level jobs, and all those basic jobs that don't require technical knowledge, they really shouldn't ask for previous experience.

I read that this is because "entry level" actually often just means "entry level relative to the specific skill scaling of the company you're applying to". What's "entry level" in one company may be more advanced in another. And yes, it's incredibly dishonest.

Its honestly kinda messed up that jobs that are called entry level often require multiple years of experience, while jobs that seem much more specialized and hard to get often have no strict requirements. Its like the whole job market is designed from the ground up to weed out anyone with even the tiniest shred of self doubt or anxiety.

The entry level experience requirement makes me so angry. I always hear people say that companies are just saying that and you can still get the job without experience, essentially they want you to have the confidence to apply anyway. This is NOT true. I've been applying to hundreds of jobs in my field for the last year with almost zero responses and no offers. I finally got sick of it and decided to rewrite my education as job experience (because it basically is) and I got a response on the FIRST APPLICATION I SENT OUT. They absolutely do want job experience for entry level jobs. It should be illegal in my opinion.

Now that I have gotten back surgery, I'm finally getting invited in for interviews but being turned away because of my physical restrictions. :/ It's very disheartening and discouraging. I can't help but feel that employers would rather hire someone who doesn't need accommodations like I do. People think I could just get a work from home job, but I only really have experience working in early childhood education. I lack the skills for certain jobs and others I don't want to do, like call centers. I've worked at one before and it burned me out so much that I quit.

I had no work experience when I graduated college in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in Linguistics. I didn't even apply for work for months because i needed surgery and had health things to take care of first while it was kinda convenient to be unemployed. Then when i started applying, no one told me cover letters were important... I struggled to even get an interview most of the time. I volunteered at a nonprofit org to get various types of experience and references, plus my brother's friend's mom hired me to be an assistant for a month in 2013 before she (and therefore i) was let go from her company... And with those pieces of experience I was able to apply to a place that recruited people for contracts for other jobs, although i was just applying to be their administrative assistant making barely above minimum wage, but they had already decided they would keep the woman already temporarily in the role... But they liked me enough from the interview to keep me in mind for other jobs that came their way and i actually turned down one very accounting/math contract as not appealing to me. But they found me a non-math based contract as basically an administrative assistant in the government that i ended up working in for 4 years and making $18/hr, then 19. Then 20 ish from end of 2016 till i had to resign end of 2020 from massive burnout and issues with new management making working as someone with ADHD feel impossible... Now I'm on an entrepreneurial path. And it's scary because idk if I'll succeed. And I've already been trying for nearly 2 years to get myself to start making money at this new career path. But I'm excited by the thought of doing such fulfilling work that's exactly what i want to be doing, having the freedom to work less hours in a week and take whatever time off i want, and so many other parts of this new path of mine.

For the other job, I was picked over someone with a mechanical engineering degree because it was more mechanical oriented. I dont want to do electrical stuff because the work load is a lot worse for the same pay.

If you're still in college, I *highly* recommend trying to get a summer internship. It's significantly easier to start working while you're still in school as a student than it is to land your first job fresh out of college, and much lower risk if you fail, because you'll be in school for awhile yet. If you're 6 months, or a year, or 18 months out of college and still have no job, that's going to look very suspicious on your resume. I got my first job as an intern sophomore year, worked there part-time throughout school for ~15 hours a week, which was a very easy workload, then got hired full-time with 65k salary the day I graduated. Transitioning from internship experience to full-time is the way to go IMO, and I graduated with 2 1/2 years of work experience. Stop procrastinating. It DOES NOT get easier to get a job when you graduate, and your loans are just around the corner waiting for you to pay them back.

I tried to have a bold mind and just apply to it anyway but it doesn't work. Even the job I'm applying from a friend's recommendation got rejected real hard. I also can't find a single engineering internship in-general because I have a nuclear engineering degree! People always telling me to "Go get an internship" or "just apply more" and I always answer them "I already do it", all of them are afraid because I have this useless degree.

Had several internships and worked under professor and I've applied to 70 jobs and interviewed in 10 different places with multiple rounds and I've gotten rejected for all of them. Its been 4-5 months since I graduated and I'm starting to lose hope. I've continuously revised my resume and cover letters, gotten feedback and improved on behavioral and technical questions but it feels as if they never intended to hire me anyways. I feel like I'm stuck in limbo and I'm not getting any reward for the effort I'm putting in. I worked hard in college for my bachelors but I don't have any connections in industry. Several of my friends in a different field had a job offer because their dad already worked in the company. I haven't gotten a single offer despite my effort. I'm afraid of filling in the next application and spending time taking courses for any specific requirements they may have and researching the companies previous work/literature just to get rejected again and all my effort being for nothing. I think I'm internalizing this rejection as being proof that I'm just not good enough. I'm considering getting a higher degree but local costs are above 100k and if I cant still find a job after doing a masters, I will actually commit suicide

Never mention how much experince you have in a resume towards a job or career. Highlight the quality of what you do by have a feat section in your resume. For example, for me i have a feat where i managed to attract the attention of a class size of people by communicating to 1 person only. In addition, i retained my popularity for 5 years and it grew over time to a total of 4 classes after my attention without placing an effort on communicating to the degree i had inititally for the first class i had attracted. This sells my ability to grab attention by communicating. You gotta sell quality to your employer. Every job requires some basic skills like communication and if you can be exceptional at it. You can have any job you want that requires communicating. You could also sell the skill of discipline too but make it exceptional like you are diciplined at something incredibly difficult to not give up at

oh my! this video show up in the right time for me. very happy for that. i need to look at my curriculum in a different way. 🥰🥰

I don’t want to end up like some people without experience….in sales or a grocery store or taking a job out of desperation that is dangerous dirty and no AC and getting paid a little above minimum wage which is what I had done

I graduated a year ago and can’t find anything and I have work experience, but in the military. It’s bullshit when they say they are willing to train you when they also want you to have experience.

So I am one who has a unique set of circumstances when looking for work ... and it ties in with this lack of experience thing. To lay some groundwork here, I happen to be an autist (I think you need to add more content regarding autistics in the work place fwiw). I've always had problems in school with 'cliquish behavior', sequestration, etc (unable to resolve some social cues etc), and my mind is built with a logical design with strong problem solving and critical thinking skills ... but along with typically autistic traits such as mind blindness and this has put me at a hiring disadvantage. Earlier this year I moved into automotive repair, which has been a particularly strong interest of mine since childhood (which took place in the 1970s and 1980s). For the first 13 years of my work life, I worked various fast food jobs because that's all I could land - and having a job - any job - is better than not. I spent 22 years in IT - personal computer end user support, PC building and repair. I landed the chance to get into auto repair when one of my PC repair clients turned out to be an owner of an auto repair shop. We had a good talk, discovered he has a son on the spectrum and we hit it off quite well. He offered me a job and now I am having the best time of my life. What I am saying is that in order to get into a good job, I had to have someone take a chance on me & that's not a common thing. As an autodidact, I don't possess a paper that demonstrates my knowledge and with a lack of physical experience, people don't want to generally do that.

Job experience often feels like bonus xp. It's great if you have it, but a lot of jobs have people who are more than willing to help you learn so long as you are willing, eager, and are the type of person who fits well into that particular ecosystem. Though it definitely feels strange when job experience is almost always listed under "job requirements."

I'm a graduate Mechanical Engineer. For the time being, I've applied for more than 50 jobs/internships/graduate opportunities in this summer. I didn't even make it to any single interview besides ASML (the semiconductur company) which I do not even know if I failed, since the average review time is about 4 Weeks. Moreover, I live in a country with very few industry (Portugal) and its been tough.

Story of my life... I was once applying for an apprenticeship and the company felt it was appropriate to expect to bring like half of the taught contents ahead of time. When I pointed that out during the interview, in the finals I was weeded out because there were "nuances" not complying with the company climate... They wouldn't elaborate on this, no matter how often I asked. End of story: I said "frick it!" and applied for university, instead. Now, I'm an engineer in the IT field working in public service, probably the most secure of all fields including slightly above average payment. And the kicker is the company from earlier now shares the same building with us and their employees are jumping ship because they give a damn about staff. That goes to show when you invest early in your life you will later reap the all the goods and have it much easier.

I remember applying for jobs at places I loved being in with Barnes and Nobles and Hot Topic. But all of them required experience beforehand, and also Hot Topic I didn't have "the look." Eventually I ended up enlisting and did dental assisting for 6 years but after that 6 years I'm burnt out on providing dental and medical care and I have carpel tunnel that acts up all the time. But at least I have experience in something I guess lol. But what I've always wanted to do was get in the video game industry and I thought about being a QA tester to get my foot in the door. But even entry level/don't know much it's 3+ years experience. Then I thought about going for editing or something else in the publishing industry since I'm going for a creative writing degree and...need X amount of years experience. Haha...👻

the amount of people who have found success by lying about their capabilities killed what little motivation to participate in employment that i had left lol. it truly is an ocean of incompetence out there taking all the opportunity away from people who are actually good at those positions. cronyism and nepotism should be high level crimes imo. if you care about healthy/sustainable economies and increasing profit margins at least lol

And then when they don't get the job they just keep trying until they get one. That's just how the job market works, the only difference being that people are now placed in positions more effectively. The real limiting factor is just the number of jobs available. For any job that you need to prove your worth (where lying actually has utility), the market is already oversaturated with people who want that job. The company WILL be able to fill the position. The only difference in a world where people don't lie, is that a company either finds better people for the job or otherwise they lower their expectations and fill the role with somebody less qualified but still a good fit. In no world does the role just not get filled because nobody is lying. The would-be liars just aren't as successful anymore, and the honest people are more successful, that's the only difference, and this difference leads to a better world because now job positions are filled with people who are actually most capable of doing the job. This, in turn, could hypothetically lead to overall better work environments because companies are able to either realize greater success at the same cost (because the workers are actually doing the right things now) or provide better benefits to the workers (e.g. reaching the same level of success as before, but with reduced hours from the workers who are now actually capable of doing the same tasks in less time.)

I dropped out of front end dev school, mostly because of the «moving to another city» and other stuff situation. And yesterday i got the call that i got the job of a jr full stack developer because i gave it a shot. Super fucking lucky tho but im sooo happy. Now the company is about to be fucking stuck with me untill im a senior dev! If they want me out, they better fucking bring the bulldozer!

I have the opposite problem. I can't find anything to get by because I'm overqualified.

What video is she referencing at 3:07? Where she is talking about "If I don't apply, I don't get it. If I apply and they say no, I don't get it either. So I just applied."

Hey friends, I just wanted to say I was there in your shoes! Internships can really help and even if you get a job that isn’t in the field you’re applying to well you can still use those skills as transferable experience. I went to school for graphic design like OP and had internships and got my first job in marketing at an insurance company which was not fun after a while, and I now work for a golf ball company designing custom orders for clients. Sometimes you can find jobs with relatable skill sets in odd places. In fact, one of my first internships was at a medical industry we helped to clean up studies from scientists and made them pretty for shows and journals. Additionally, if you’re struggling to find work you’re not alone right now. The market is super oversaturated and I know tons of people who have applied to numerous jobs to either get ghosted or rejected. Just don’t give up and it’s okay to have a job that might not align with what you want for the future right now it takes time. Also have a bit of social media that’s professional, recruiters are everywhere but be aware of the places that collect your info to just spam you about jobs that aren’t even aligned with your skills or education. Zip recruiter does this, and indeed has a lot of scam jobs now. Check your local town jobs, check government jobs, small mom and pop places, you never know where work is needed even if it’s part time, start small and work up. don’t go for the big companies to start. I made that mistake and got rejected by so many studios and at that level it’s like well of course someone like Disney wouldn’t hire me lol.

I have applied to over 40 places since I graduated last month but I have only had one interview all are entry level.

Catch-22 , LOL , I love that book

In my experience, the biggest obstacle that seeing countless job postings that demand "2-5 years of experience" comes from stopping before interacting with a person. If you can get somebody on the phone, or even better in person, to just talk to you about a potential hiring, they're usually open to scheduling an interview, and from that point you can properly defend your experience and preparedness to perform the job they're listing. If they still don't want to hire you, then you likely actually aren't the right fit and that's fine, you can both move on and waste no time toiling over a sense of inadequacy or self-imposed doubt. And if you are a good fit, you might just get the job! But it's real easy to just doom scroll job sites like Indeed or Glassdoor and have your confidence shrink to zero because you feel like you have never done anything before and thus can never do anything.

Applying for jobs you are not qualified for is totally a thing. I have worked in over 10 distinct career paths trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, I never figured that out lol, and every time I have transitioned into a new career with new skill sets I sold my self as a quick learner that is willing to grow with the company. Often big companies wont hire you on that alone, but smaller ones will and you can take the skills from one field and apply them in another that makes you think and problem solve in new ways. Even my current job, QA specialist for automated end to end testing on applications, I got with zero experience. 4 months ago I didnt even know what end to end testing was or how to program a single line of code. Now its my job. Just get out there and learn what you can where you can and it will take you further than you think.

Verified through testing male vs female and multi race/racialized naming and spreadsheeting response rates and interviews offered. 6) companies that actually are searching for exactly what they post, pizzed off their 'the guy', and are most likely toxic and just insane thinking they'll find a plug and play person who has the experience in every single part of their stack Also, to finish up here => the expectations vs the reality is vastly different.

If whatever you are trying for doesn't work, and you can't escape the poverty cycle...after trying everything possible...just sink into it. Fxck em'...

This should be considered indentured servitude, it blows my mind that that's legal

Its even better right now, entry level 3+ years and when They actually meet you They sey I we thought you had 5+ years, we are sorry.

And why is it that we dont get a livable wage just cause we aren't as experienced? Make it make sense....

I recommend lying on résumés, job requirements are generally unrealistic. A job can say they want 10 years experience when you only really need 1 year, a lot of the ceos have no idea what is required in a lot of the things they hire for.

I have applied to 15 diferent jobs and they all have rejected me because i have no job experience and im disable. But not disable enough to receive social security What should i do?

I know it's harsh but only 15 jobs isn't enough to apply to. (What country are you in?) Avoid mentioning your disability until the last possible second that you can get away with. It sucks but it makes you more likely to get the job.

If you're not disabled enough to qualify as unable to work and instead get your money for living from the government, that should mean you are indeed able to work. People who struggle with reading/writing/ speaking to customers and clients still can get jobs doing all sorts of manual labor. People who physically can't lift things can often still do computer based jobs. It really depends on the nature of your disability

@@VioletEmerald The usual nature of such a scenario is typically being in the awkward limbo of "not able enough for most employers, but also not disabled enough to qualify for benefits. It's a pretty common situation, actually; your own mentality of simply suggesting a "computer job" for someone with physical impairments, really displays the issue. Disability offices will suggest ANYTHING to deny your benefits, that you could theoretically do, but may not be realistically feasible, when you begin considering anything such as livable wages, proficiency at such work, or even viability to actually qualify (the very experience paradox in this video) for those jobs.

@@OkaruEXE I mean yes, I completely agree with you. I also said "should" mean but didn't expand what I was thinking in my head which is more like... the government has deemed you able to work, and if you really can't, you'll need to fight the government to convince them they're wrong to deem you able to work, or else you're kinda screwed/it sucks/you're stuck in a bad situation. Despite how my comment may sound when I was briefly trying to give some actionable actual advice instead of just saying there's nothing you can do... it's oversimplified to be general. I don't know the nature of this disability but I didn't mention all physical disabilities as great for a computer, just that if the nature of your disability means you can't lift things, "often" you can work at all sorts of 4 million computer based jobs out there, even if there are plenty you can't or won't qualify for, there are many others.

You Know what's funny, I'm a Reserve Osmoses Technion for a company completely out of my state, but we have lots of contracts thought-out the United states, and I have a hard time just not having the experience, but I'm learning. like, i kinda lied on my resume as far as some experience but during the time period, man Im on top! funny part is, HR just told me to lie but, im good at what i do.. just was totally new to me.. and i caught on quick! i LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO! THOUGHT ID GIVE ME WORLD TO IT.

Honestly I *wish* I had this person's problem. I don't think they even realize how privileged and lucky they are. Trying out different things is a super smart thing to do in your twenties. Your experiences are not only going to diversify and strengthen your resume, but enrich your character. Everyone struggles to find work post-graduation, even highly capable qualified people. It's completely normal. This call is actually a little upsetting. So many people would kill to be in this person's position. The world is so full of possibilities for them right now. I hope they're able to realize that and enjoy themselves.

Or lie on your CV to get your foot in the door.

Yep. If they're gonna be shady then why should we play by the rules? I'm thinking about faking an internship because all of these entry level jobs want experience

Meanwhile I blown my internship because Diazepam and Flu Medicine fatigue effect stack on random sudden AC Allergy episode and despite I'm hiding in a storage room as my colleague instructed, a customer thinks I'm a drug addict and reported the HR and fired me to save face from complete coincidences.
