New Study Finds That Most Entry-Level Job Postings Require 80 Years of Experience and Heart Surgery Ability
ANN ARBOR, MI - A recent study conducted by the University of Michigan, which analyzed over four million job postings, found that a majority of all entry-level job postings require applicants to have at least 80 years of professional experience, be proficient in 12 languages, and be able to perform open-heart surgery.
Becky Smith, a recent college graduate with 22 years life experience, encountered a similar situation while preparing her resume for a recent graduate position in social media management. "I was surprised to learn that the job required a minimum of 60 years of experience, a Nobel Peace Prize, and the ability to speak fluent Swahili," explained Smith.
CEO John Silver of Obscure Solutions defended his companies hiring practices exclaiming, "It's not unreasonable at all. How can we trust someone to handle our social media accounts if they haven't mediated peace in a war-torn country? However, we are having trouble finding qualified applicants."
