vicious circles.

“Do you have any experience?”

All job opportunities are lost at this one hurdle. They all ask it, don’t they? Understandably so, right? It is in the company’s best interest to employ someone who requires little to no training. It’s more cost-efficient and less time-consuming. There is one flaw in this mentality though. Let me explain by posing a question: who will provide the experience needed? All these employers expect someone else to take the amateur on board and bring them up to scratch. However, obviously this doesn’t work. So, come on, big cheeses! Employ me!

edit: A little birdy just informed me that it is possible to have too much experience as well. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you can be too experienced. You can pull too perfect a pint. You can do too good a job. I mean, come on! Seriously? No wonder the unemployment rate is so high. It seems that society just isn’t for the jobseeker. *sigh*
