Entry-Level (2yrs exp. required)
-
Apparently you're supposed to get that experience as an unpaid intern before graduation. Some fucking bullshit, really.
I am a chemical engineer, and they basically don’t want to hire anyone without 2-3 years of post graduate experience and even then the majority of jobs seem to want more than 5 years of post graduate experience. Every year I watch the amount of entry level jobs drop more and more as companies just don’t want to train people anymore

Offer to work for your uncle for a few years to get your foot in the door. It's nobodies fault but your own if your don't have an uncle in the field.

It's too thin. May I get a blanket at least?

Resumes are bullshit ans easy to fake. What matters is your referrals. The main problem today is getting past fucking the AI filters.

Unless they're using AI to filter, then it can be a hard requirement.
You taylor the resume to the position you want, and just put all the keywords in your resume as the shit they are looking for. That gets you pass the AI. Then a real human can then look at your resume and will give you a call. How I finally got through it.

I really wish more people understood this. Assuming you manage to get past the automated screening (which, to be fair, can be hard if you're missing something obvious from their list), what matters is whether you appear competant and a good fit. Of course, if two candidates are similar, but one has more experience, they're more likely to get the job, but it's not a hard cut off.
You fake it until you make it. I'm shit with Excell but that's not what it says on my resume.

Reminds me of trying to break into Linux Sysadmin work. Every entry-level job required five years of experience.

This is exactly how it is. You set up your entry level filters for your desired fields in linked, and get the notifications! (EXCITEMENT)
Turns out theyre entry level jobs requiring at least 2 years experience in the field...

Not me, but a comment I remember reading a few years ago.
This person had been working on some new coding software that was created at the tech giant this person was working for. They get laid off with tech cutbacks and start looking for a new job. The new job required 5 years experience with the software... Software was created 2 years ago.

wrote last edited by [email protected]i wouldnt even put why i left the company, unless t he interview presses the question, just gave them a bs a response. depends on the type of referrals, if its just all email contact and response thats easy to fake, if its they must verify you with said person, it might be harder if you dont anyone to vouch for you.

I remember my wife looking for a web dev position in early 2015 and at one place they were adamant that 5 years of HTML5 in experience was mandatory.
Wikipedia says:
On 28 October 2014, HTML5 was released as a W3C Recommendation,[32] bringing the specification process to completion.
Edit: I know the spec was a work in progress since 2008 but it's still kind of a ridiculous requirement. To put it in to perspective, my wife's class was the first year that they trained on Html5 instead of 4.
sounds like the listing was designed to discourage people from applying, companies do this all the time.

alot of them are hired through connections anyways, its only if they really cant find someone they go for listings.

How'd you get in?
I built a homelab and taught myself a lot from forums and books and tutorials. I had an in-person interview lined up after I passed a phone interview, but another company offered me a job and financially I couldn't take the risk. If I didn't take it and the Linux gig didn't pan out, I'd be in dire straits.
I'm still not a Linux Sysadmin, but I continue to use it for personal server stuff (the company that hired me was primarily a Windows shop). That was seven years ago and now I work at a state agency (would recommend; I might retire there).
I might try for the Linux team at my current org at some point in the future, but I really like my boss and job duties where I am now.

It was either that or the guy who literally invented a programming language was told he did not have enough experience with it...
