Deep dives
The Reality of Job Applications
Navigating the job market can be particularly daunting for those seeking entry-level positions, largely due to unrealistic expectations regarding experience requirements. Many job descriptions demand several years of experience for roles labeled as 'entry-level', making it confusing for new graduates or career changers. This paradox creates a challenging environment where candidates feel dissuaded from applying, fearing they may not meet these often arbitrary standards. It is vital to pursue these opportunities regardless of how many boxes are checked, as applying could lead to valuable experience and eventual success.
