Yea, and let it then be known, that these are the signs of the Apocolypse, the heralding of the End of All.
There will be oceans of blood
The dead will rise
The Four Horsemen will ride out
Adrian will get his learner’s permit and commence learning to drive.
One of these hast happened this day. Pick the most likely prospect.
Quick rantiness to round-out my day, I think. Thanks to the help of a friend earlier in the week, I found seek.com.au’s Graduate/Entry-Level jobs section. This will, I am sure, be a big boon to my job-hunt; finally having somewhere that lists job specifically for my experience level.
Or, it would if people, you know, did this.
I have two complaints with it. Big ones. My usual job search restrictions on there are “Jobs, Graduate/Entry-level, in IT & T, located in Melbourne”. That’s all the restrictions I make. So, in the past few days of looking, I have come across:
35 jobs listed in Melbourne, located in Canberra. Now, when you limit your job-search to a specific city, it’s usually because, oh, you want jobs that are located there, you know? You don’t want jobs telling you “well, here’s a fantastic opportunity for you! You just have to pay your own way to move really far away from your life and start all over again! Hurrah!” And, what’s worse? They were all the same job, listed by the same company.
26 jobs listed that require 1, 2 or 3 years of experience. Hate to break it to you, guys, but that is not entry-level. Entry-level or Graduate jobs don’t require experience, simply because they’re designed for people who have to come in on the ground-floor and work their way up. We don’t have experience. We’ve never had jobs in this industry before. Why on earth do you think we’re looking in the entry-level section if we have experience? If you’ve got experience there’s bigger jobs for better pay to be had in the mainstream IT & T section.
Okay, that’s my quick rant all done and dusted. Admittedly if the jobs in the entry-level section were better chosen they wouldn’t be able to boast as many in there; but at least you’d know what’s in there is good to look at.
