Hiyaa

To my dear Googlers:

Welcome to my comedy blog.

What to expect: I've posted the sketches I've been writing in my spare time according to categories at the top of the blog, so they're easier to read. As I'll write more, I'll post more.

BUT not everything I post in my blog will be sketches, even though all the writing will be comedy-style.

------------------------------------------------------------

Just like not all *entry level* employees are actually entry level, even though they are all employees.

To elaborate, let's take a moment to look at the definition of entry-level:  "Appropriate for or accessible to one who is inexperienced in a field or new to a market" (Source: thefreedictionary.com).

What it does not mean: 1-3 years of related experience, previous similar jobs, knowledge of information that could only come from working in this field before, and any other creatively disguised synonyms.

However what "entry-level" is supposed to mean and what it does mean in the current landscape, are two different things.

I'd like to give a shout out to the college graduates, a shout down to the words-reshuffling HR departments (scrabble champions have nothing on them), and a moment of silence for the un-entry level workers who are forever hired as entry level.

To avoid confusing college graduates and other career changers in the future, I propose to create a new job posting category: Pre-Entry Level.

Maybe finally this will end the catch-22 that entry level jobs currently pose, and no previous experience will be required?
