>>75486567>even entry level job need 2 or 3 years experience minimum in my place>>75486615>Anon those 2-3 years experience stuff is bullshit, just submit your resume and roll the diceI'm the tech person filtering CVs and this is true to an extent. Imagine there is a position for "web developer HTML + JS + CSS, experience with VueJS desired".
Very first filter is to dump every single CV with any active presence in the academia in into the "no" pile. Anyone still in college or just graduated didn't have the time to work in the area in any capacity because both are very time consuming.
That leaves people that already graduated or people not enrolled in college. Both are fine.
Out of the remaining anyone having worked in the area and mentioning the required technology being part of their previous work goes straight to the "yes" pile.
Anyone having worked in the area but mentioning similar but not quite technology
>think mentioning "ReactJS" when what was asked was "VueJS" goes into the "maybe" pile.
Anyone mentioning having worked in other areas or in the area but using technologies with no overlap
>think mentioning being a C# programmer when what was asked was a HTML + JS + CSS + Vue web developergoes straight into the "no" pile.
Up until here it's straightforward. Active in academia or working in unrelated fields or tech goes to "no", people with work experience in what was asked goes to "yes", people with work experience in related areas goes into "maybe". That leaves people with no work experience.
Most companies in this area have positions open for two types: senior developers, which will be put straight into ongoing or new projects, and junior developers, which will be trained and assist senior developers with easier and more menial tasks.
People with ZERO work experience but interest in the area makes for PERFECT junior developers because their first contact with the professional world will be in *this* company, with no vices or any preconception of how they should do the work and that's the point of this wall of text.
For anyone trying to enter the workforce in this area, you have EITHER to have worked in the field using the exact tech being asked or a very close one OR to be deeply familiar with it in a hobbyist capacity.
So, if the CV is asking for "HTML + JS + CSS + VueJS" and you are familiar with the technology even if you didn't really work in the field with it just build something useful, put on github or somewhere else and put it in your CV anyway.
I once hired a bloke straight from high school because he had built a very good website for
>his Counter Strike clanone of the best blokes that worked here, and down the line a company similar to Amazon (but not them) poached him.
Don't bullshit your CV, people reading it can smell a poser a thousand miles away but if you are even barely familiar with what is being asked, build something so you can put on your portfolio (even in an amateur capacity) and apply anyway.
