Total of 6 years (my fault), graduated with honors. Can’t get a job because I don’t have experience. Countless applications out. Zero interviews.

    I’m in a similar situation. Do employers believe that the workforce will never run out of people who have experience if employers never bother to provide and cultivate newbies to start getting experience? Right now, it’s like you can’t get in the club if you haven’t already been in the club. And how are jobs that are labeled as Entry Level requiring applicants to have 5+ years of experience?

      This is a deliberate psychological ploy by businesses. They’re expecting prospective hires to feel that they’re “lucky” for being considered despite meeting the obviously bogus job requirements in the hopes that they will be desperate enough if hired to accept insultingly low wages for the position.
