GETTING THE JOB YOU WANT JANE OATES PRESIDENT, WORKINGNATION Everybody who is having a difficult time getting the job that they want is somebody that we should concentrate on. But I think if I were to paint a broad brush, I'd say the two extremes are the most stressed right now. For those just entering the workforce, whether directly from high school, from a two-year or four-year degree, or from a professional degree, it's a new world. And they're having a very hard time getting started mainly because almost every job listing that I see says three to five years experience. Well, if you did your job as a student and studied hard and graduated you didn't have time to have a full-time job while you were doing that. So where did you get that work experience? Not everybody accepts the fact that you should get an internship or it would be great to have some kind of work-based learning experience. It just doesn't exist in every corner of the United States yet. Maybe we'll correct that soon. And then when I say the book ends, older workers are having a really hard time. And by older, I mean 50 and older. Somebody who gets laid off at 50 and was in middle management is having a really tough time finding a job that pays the same or has a similar job title. They don't want to go back and start over again. They earned their position with that old employer. And they want to find a position that's at least as good in terms of both salary and status. So I think there's a little bit of discrimination on both ends. When we have AI technology that sorts resumes, they throw somebody out that could be a great, highly qualified candidate because they don't have that three years work experience. And quite frankly, with an older worker, they see that they've been around a long time and they think, you know, that's not a good candidate because they're going to come with preset views and maybe too high a salary demand.
