Comment on Growing number of ‘unemployables’ frustrated by the job market

so entering the job market is borderline impossible because all the “entry level positions” require you to have 3 years of experience, and then, if you miraculously get a job, changing it or getting fired is incredibly dangerous because said “experience” doesn’t even matter in the eyes of AI overlords scanning your CV for keywords half of which it probably hallucinated

cool cool, society is doing great

Its been this way for decades. They will ask for x impossible qualifications for the compensation they want to offer. One of three things will happen:

No one applies, they alter the job posting or compensation

No one applies, the posting gets reposted for years

People apply and say fuck it. They get the job because there is no unicorn candidate

Moral of the story is apply if you really the job, or move on. It’s like running from a bear.

you only need to be faster than the guy next to you

  yeah but as someone entering the job market it’s soul crushing to see all those listings. You think that you’re the problem, that everyone else entering the field does have 3 years of experience already. It just fucking sucks, what’s the point in inflating the requirements like that?
