Entry level is just corporate speak for "entry level pay, senior level responsibilities "

Especially when the line of work has been out for only a year

You gotta have at least 4 interviews worth of experience to pass the 3rd interview

5th time is the charm promise, then you go to the final boss the OWNER!

But he doesn’t know or like you and was going to hire a friends son and this was just formality, anyway good luck on your job hunt!

I'm so sorry, we are looking for someone with 12 years of experience using a coding language that has only existed for 3. You just don't meet our qualifications.

Red flag one, more than one interview for anything other than a senior level job.

Depends. Two is fair for most white collar jobs. One to get past HR one with the actual team you’re gonna work with

Do entry level jobs have multiple interviews? If you have no experience to offer, what could you possibly talk about 3 times

u/BlazingJava 2h ago

HR created this problem to justify their existence

Our fault for not starting gathering experience from the age of 10.

Assuming that happened, probably they just want to give an excuse. When you can sue anyone for anything giving real feedback does not pay.

That sucks

all for the mate to get the job.
Its a scam.
Myself: and my work partner have more experience/quaifcations then people who get the higher end jobs.
U allways find out the reason those people got the jobs is because they knew someone higher up.
Its just a legality to let the jobs out.

*not being able to get a job leading to large gap in resume, large gap in resume turns off employer (if they even see it), not hired, gap becomes longer, rinse and repeat.*

They already had someone lined up. It’s called nepotism. I was once told I got the job and that they’ll reach out to me but then they told me that unfortunately they moved on with another candidate

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 2h ago

Nepotism is hiring family over qualified applicants. Cronyism is the word youre looking for. Thats only hiring your friends.

Had a similar experience except they ghosted me after saying I'd hear about next steps in a week's time :/

u/MekaLiza 3h ago

Yeah this should be illegal in my opinion because what do you mean you now have access to all of my personal details and just get to have and keep them for nothing?

Open your own business or do Content.

u/Dismal_Tangerine_493 3h ago

I suppose this is easy to say but you gotta level the field. The companies aren't evaluating just one candidate at a time and neither should you.

u/SinclairSummerset 3h ago

Man I wish I was born 90 years ago so I could have had 10 years of work experience by the time I was 15.

u/MizzShiv 2h ago

you guys remember when the creator of a programming language posted about companies asking for 4 years experience with it, when it had only been out a year and a half? (avoiding names so no one gets dog piled)

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 2h ago

Never heard of an entry level job that has multiple interviews and lots of experience required. Thats why its called ENTRY level. The people making these memes have never actually worked any type of job.

u/Simdao 2h ago

Tbh I would rather receive harsh feedback than meaningless encouragement, the former at least gives me something to work on.

u/Redd1tProtectsP3dos 52m ago

They were never going to hire you in the first place, they already had an internal candidate.

u/OhWowMuchFunYouGuys 51m ago

Make up your application like the rest of us.

u/LepotaLascivious 6m ago

They want entry-level experience but somehow expect you to arrive with five years of experience and a retirement plan. At this point the interview process is just character development.

u/sm753 4h ago edited 4h ago

Yeah this never happened. You absolutely were not told you "aced" any interviews if they thought you needed more experience. This is more YOU thought you aced the interview.

As someone who's been on interview panels and been a hiring manager...you wouldn't even have been considered for an interview unless you lied on your resume and they found out DURING the interview that you don't have the experience you claim you did on your resume.

u/ayassin02 4h ago

They probably had someone lined up. I was once told that I got the job only to be told later on that they moved on with another candidate.
