Today, every "entry level" job in my field is now requiring 2-5 years experience. I don't think they understand what "entry level" actually means. FML

mr1234 tells us more.

Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone, it's nice to know that I wasn't totally degraded for something that's been extremely frustrating. I'm very lucky the currently have a full time job (A supervisory position, at 24, as a woman!). And for those wondering, my field is business administration. i have a Bachelor's degree and plenty of legitimate work experience, just not experience that is directly related to what they want. so *whoosh* in the trash goes my resume!

Jobs these days expect more than they say they do so... Like the saying goes "no job no experience, no experience no job". Good luck op

I KNOW RIGHT?! Dealing with the same thing here. What is this shit?

You must be trying to work in the computer field. Pain in the ass isn't it?

I am in the same boat buddy!

Many places list "requirements" that aren't actually requirements. Apply anyway. A good interview can get you past what is "required" on paper.

Entry level means: maximum experience but expect the pay of an intern.
