    Simple, they don't want an entry level hire, they want a mid to senior level hire and pay them entry level wage. It's like putting out a bait, and when the small fish nibbles, you ignore, but when the bass bites you begin to reel

      Haha yes indeed, man I was applying for job since last year, until now I haven’t got one. I speak 3 languages, just because I don’t have 2 years experience, man I got refused every time. And one thing I found interesting is the requirements are evolving, I mean i realized that some companies especially the middle and large ones always look for high end candidates but in the end pass the job to someone with network. That makes me feel they are wasting my time.

    Finally a UA-camr who differentiates a 'Job' from a 'Career'. I am a recent grad and feeling the Post-grad blues since my graduation ceremony. Job hunting and getting interviews has turned me nonchalant and I am trying to find out why. Employers of course don't care about their employee's. Only a few do though but I just want to get a good living to live the lifestyle I desire.

      It’s also a big issue in Vietnam. Once i got interviewed for an internship position which required full time work load but offered 1/4 of a supposed to be monthly salary, and the interviewer smirked and scorned at me for not having any experience and over-aged to his pov. That bastard should really go to hell lol and that company was also ridiculous for asking such a requirement for an intern 😂

    Great Video! I have been in the recruiting area for 25+ years and you do a great job of hitting some key issues and how to overcome them. Unfortunately most companies recruiting processes were created by HR individuals - not recruiters. On top of that, they are rarely updated and as you stated, the same mistakes are copied over and over. Thanks for sharing!

  • @sciencelover3339

    The problem is that job boards like LinkedIn and Indeed often make those 3-5 years of experience required fields in the application and reject candidates that don't meet the minimum number of years. The hiring manager doesn't even get to see them, because they were auto-rejected.

    experience comes in 2 types, example someone says they have 5 years experience, it could mean they have 5 years of experience working and learning diffident areas of the job and have 5 years experience or they could be someone that has been doing the same thing and never learning anything new and hence have been doing 1 years of experience 5 times.

    so basically.
    its a psychological tactic to stop people from applying.
    also they just take advantage of the fact that there really are some people out there who meet those requirements and are desperate enough to accept entry level pay, probably.

      I read this on reddit. All you have to do is to say was you were taking care of your older relatives (most people say grandparents, but it's up to you). And then they eventually died. Usually it works for you in ways you can't even imagine. But again, it's up to you.

    What entry level jobs require 5 years experience? Consulting firms, law firms, engineering firms, investment banks, technology companies all hire entry level people with just an internship straight out of undergrad, and many even pay six figures! These companies show up on college campuses to recruit.
