Let’s talk about something that quietly blocks opportunities for many job seekers.
How is a role labeled entry-level…
yet requires 4+ years of experience,
advanced HR knowledge,
multiple software tools,
and the ability to “hit the ground running”?
That’s not entry-level.
That’s mid-level talent at entry-level pay.
This practice doesn’t just frustrate candidates — it shrinks the talent pipeline, discourages young professionals, and makes gaining real work experience unnecessarily difficult.
If companies truly want growth, innovation, and loyalty:
Train people
Create real junior roles.
Stop recycling unrealistic job descriptions.
Everyone starts somewhere.
Let’s stop closing the door before people even get a chance to knock.
