I think that you have to kind of ignore the years of expectation requirements when you're applying to jobs (those are guidelines not hard and fast rules). If you get a referral somewhere, they will often give you more of a chance if you have less experience. But if you can't get a referral, you can work on your portfolio by doing freelance and volunteer type work too. Doesnt have to all be full-time work experience
Sadly they want us to build experience through volunteer work, putting us financially behind by a number of years because they don’t want to train newbies or are greedy. If you can, freelance instead so you’ll get some money to pad yourself financially, but in a lot of cases volunteering is how we have to get our foot in the door
