I keep getting rejected from jobs asking for “entry level candidates” with years of experience... How are people supposed to break into the industry now? Is it work doing courses on the side?

Gotta start in the womb

Hahahaha never heard something more real

What they really means is they wany someone with years of experience to work for entry level pay.

Don't fall for it!

Call them out on it and inquire how much fad=ster than normal you'd get raises as you prove yourself and how much larger than normal those raises will be until you get where you were (and where you belong!).

Don't sell yourself short even one time. You'll never recover.

Yeah that's not a wrong translation actually....

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:
