Feeling like a hamster stuck in the wheel of the job market lately - the paradox of entry-level positions requiring years of experience. It's more than sad to barely see the "entry-level" positions at all. 📚Here's a little dialogue that perfectly sums up the struggle: 👩💼: "You need experience to get a job." 👨💼: "That's why I'm here." 👩💼: "We have jobs here, not EXPERIENCE." 👨💼: "Then where do I get the EXPERIENCE?" 👩💼: "Go work and you'll get it!" 👨💼: "How much experience do I need?" 👩💼: "5 years." 👨💼: "This is an entry-level position, right?" 👩💼: "Yes, you may ENTER after working for 5 years." Please, let us, the graduates, actually gain some experience and prove out worth. We want to work and we would be perfectly good at it! 🧸💪 #JobSearch #EntryLevelHurdles

Ever noticed the paradox in the job market? 'It gets easier with experience,' they say. Yet, entry-level positions often demand 3-5 years of experience. How does one bridge this gap? Yes, experience enriches skills, but everyone must start somewhere. Speaking of beginnings, I'm currently exploring opportunities in product roles, keen to bring my fresh perspective and eagerness to learn. To employers and job seekers alike, let's rethink what 'entry-level' truly means. Could we open doors wider for fresh talent by valuing potential as much as experience? After all, today’s beginners are tomorrow’s experts. Let's create more inclusive opportunities for those eager to start their journey. #productroles #careeropportunities

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬? 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐣𝐨𝐛 Stepping into the Professional World 🌟 As the graduation season winds down, many of you are eagerly stepping into the job market. It's an exciting time, filled with anticipation and dreams. However, I've observed a common trend where some freshers have high expectations that might not align with the realities of their first job. Here's a bit of advice from someone who's been on both sides of the hiring process: 1. Flexibility is Key: Your first job might not check all your boxes – salary, role, location, or company prestige. But every job offers invaluable learning experiences and stepping stones for future opportunities. 2. Embrace Learning Opportunities: Sometimes, the role that seems less glamorous on the surface can offer the most in terms of growth and skill development. Be open to roles that challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone. 3. Build Your Network: Every professional encounter, whether it's a peer, a mentor, or a supervisor, is an opportunity to learn and grow. Networking can open doors you didn't even know existed. 4. Patience Pays Off: Career growth is a marathon, not a sprint. Early roles are foundational and set the stage for your future success. Keep an open mind and focus on building a strong foundation. 5. Adaptability is a Strength: The job market is dynamic, and the ability to adapt to new situations and challenges is a valuable skill. Show your potential employers that you're not just knowledgeable, but also adaptable and resilient. Remember, the perfect job is often built over time through a series of strategic moves and continuous learning. Embrace each opportunity as a step towards your ultimate career goals. Wishing you all the best on your journey! 🚀 #CareerAdvice #FreshGraduates #JobMarket #ProfessionalGrowth #Adaptability #Networking

Entry-level positions should demand no prior experience—not one, two, or even three to five years. Those longer spans of experience should be prerequisites for managerial roles. Entry-level jobs are meant to initiate careers and provide growth opportunities. Do you agree with this perspective? #experience #worklife #opportunities
