It's crucial that we reevaluate our approach to entry-level positions. Requiring 5+ years of experience for roles designed for fresh talent is counterintuitive. 🤔 Fresh graduates and those transitioning into new career paths bring unique perspectives, eagerness to learn, and a hunger to make an impact. For instance, I'm a Hotel Management graduate seeking job opportunities in the HR department or talent acquisition. While it is far from what I've learned in my major, I'm willing to learn and apply my acquired skills to the company. Their potential often far outweighs the number of years on a resume. By opening up these opportunities, we not only enrich our teams but also contribute to a more diverse and inclusive workplace. Let's prioritize potential, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn when seeking out the next wave of talent. Creating an environment where individuals can grow and flourish benefits everyone involved. It's a win-win situation that leads to innovation and success. Cheers to a future where fresh perspectives are valued and nurtured!!! While we're at that, do wish me luck in securing a job here on LinkedIn. All the best to my fellow freshies 😊 #freshgraduates #entryleveljobs #feedback

I strongly agree with this post. This is one of the biggest challenges faced by fresh graduates who constantly seek their first jobs. In my opinion, most graduates have experience of up to 1 year only. Thus, it would be a great idea for fresh graduates to kickstart their careers by joining an apprentice program. By joining this program, they'd gain adequate working experience as expected by future employers.

How Entry Level will have working experience. Maybe if below 1 year can consider since they can use their internship experience. Saw a few time recruiter seeking for entry level but with working experience like a senior. Are you trying to cut cost or actually entry level definition is basically for "SALARY LEVEL".

𝐓𝐢𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 :- Look at 10 job descriptions (whether you are looking right now or not). Note the common skills and identify which ones you feel you can demonstrate with confidence and which ones might take some more work and effort. Start giving 20 minutes in developing that skill everyday. In this way, you will always remain interview ready and up for any lows in the professional career( especially when every day companies are laying off). Repeat this excercise every 15 days and notice the change in yourself. #data #datascience #hiring #hiringhelp #interviewready #interviewhelp #freshers #job #jobhelp

Make sure you read a recruiter's profile before reaching out to them. I recruit staff and faculty in higher education, specifically for a large community college district. I receive a ton of messages weekly asking me if I am hiring for Sr. Data Engineers or other positions that aren't relevant to my industry. If you are interested in working for the organization I recruit for, please check our website and apply for the job(s) you are interested in. Regardless of what some "career" coaches are telling you, there isn't this vast hidden job market that is purposely hiding jobs from the public. #recruiter #recruiting #recruitment #jobs #hiring #opentowork #jobseeker #jobseekers
