Job interviews then: >"Sorry user, you don't have enough experience for this [entry level] position" >tfw forced into whoring yourself out for the next four years at an unpaid tech support internship just to get some of that fabled muh experience job interviews now: >"Sorry user, we decided to move forward with another, MORE EXPERIENCED candidate :^)" >tfw that other candidate invariably turns out to be a 60+ year old boomer who is barely able to use a computer, types at half a word per minute, and has ZERO certs
Give it to me straight, Jow Forums, there is no escaping this hell, is there?
Interviewers make up their mind about hiring you within the first 5 seconds of meeting you. They simply don't like you. Stop being such a sperg.

You can become a woman or claim you're a racial minority. I did the latter when I was applying for college. I took a DNA test and it told me I was 1% middle eastern. It made things a lot easier. I dropped out anyway.

>Just graduated with a distinction in a biophysics MSc >Looking for work in medical tech >200+ applications for "entry level" positions the country over >"Sorry user you don't have two years industrial experience doing this exact job" >"Sorry user you need a PhD minimum for this lab slave job" >"Sorry user you don't have a car" The memes are real, not just in computer science and related fields. I've given up, trying to become an accountant now instead.
Where do you live? Just L I E. In the US, it's pretty much commonly agreed that you have to lie to some degree on your resume.

Feels real bad, man. In the meantime I'm selling enterprise e-waste on eBay at tax-exempt profit margins of 100%, which at least beats having a fucking McJob

My resume is fine. Top grades at graduation, relevant certs etc. but apparently having four years of field experience doesn't cut it for entry level positions anymore. All anyone seems to care about is experience, but how can a mid twenties person ever hope to compete with boomers more than twice their age on that?
