Is it just me, or does every job posting require you to be an expert in whatever software they use? I understand upper level positions, but even entry level positions are saying that candidate needs to be proficient in like 3 different softwares. Are companies really just that lazy that they don't want to take the time anymore to train people on how a program operates? You can't expect an entry level applicant to know those....

This is why folks should apply even if they only match 80% of the requirements. But I would still say that these softwares should be prefered.

Between Google searches and YouTube, most software can be learned pretty quickly.

That's exactly my point. Most softwares can be learned and taught very quickly. But most job postings require you to be knowledgeable on these for entry level positions, the point of entry level is to LEARN. If we don't have experience , what makes recruiters think applicants have experience in them.?.

Some jobs like to put all their “in a perfect world of perfect people we would like…” list as requirements. Some companies break out “required” vs “preferred” but some don’t. Also, women are more self-critical in my opinion. If you are a 60% match, submit the application and let someone else say yes or no — don’t say no to yourself.
