they expect experience but don’t hire beginners 💀

Seriously, this whole job market is giving 'make it make sense' energy. How is 'entry-level' asking for 3-5 years of *relevant* experience and a portfolio? What exactly are we entering then, a mid-career crisis?! I just graduated, where am I supposed to get this mystical 'experience' if no one gives new grads a shot? I’m dead inside. 😭 #JobHuntSaga #CapitalismIsAScam #EntryLevel? #TheStruggleIsReal

Hard agree, OP! Just saw a 'Junior Marketing Assistant' role expecting you to be a pro at SEO, content creation, social media management, *and* have 2 years agency experience. My brain went 💀. Where do they expect us to get this 'experience' from if nobody hires new grads? It's a literal catch-22.

@noelgr8

Honestly, at this point, I'm just gonna start putting 'proficient in surviving on instant ramen' as a skill. What's the worst that can happen? Lol. I hear people just exaggerate their 'internship' projects anyway.
