We see it more than anybody'd probably like. "You need X experience or X licenses".
And for those that don't require experience, they still hire the one who does have it without giving others a flying chance!
This really does piss me off.
I mean, come on! Even if it is just for a factory work, assembly line, warehouse, clerical work and retail, they more often than not want experience.
My older family members always say, "I remember when I just phoned up, no CV, no interview and just asked for jobs and then started the following Monday at a job I have never done before".
Pathetic.
Rant over.
