8 | Do you laugh when a Hiring Manager states: "Real World" Experience? |
Spending thousands and thousands of dollars on a paticular field of study is not real world enough? LOL! How are students supposed to get out of this crazy debt we are in when HR people don't hire us. I find it hilarious that I lost out to a guy who graduated college in 1958, and he didn't know how to fill out a PDF application online. He had no idea what a PDF even was.
There is no difference when college students i am sure know way more than people who are even working in the industry, because these people who are working are not learning new skills. They are just stagnate in one position.

Hoosier, a large number? Please. College Students are way more qualified to the job than people who just work in one position their entire life. College students bring fresh ideas, and broader skills. More skills. Better skills. They don't work on CAD anymore. LOL!!!! or Quark! - maybe in 1985, sure. But company's are backwards. |

I feel your pain - you can't get experience unless someone hires you, and you have a difficult time getting hired without experience! Truly a catch-22 situation.
Your best bet may be to 'volunteer' somewhere so that you can show off your skills and knowledge and perhaps be hired on. If nothing else, you'll acquire a little experience to put on a resume!
Best wishes! |

No, I don't laugh, because I've come across a very large number of recent graduates who are extremely narrow in capacity and quite ignorant of how to actually do a job. |

I don't think that the lack of experience is what is keeping you from getting a job. It is arrogance.
Practical experience shows how you work in the real world especially with others. It does not have to be in the field. No one is questioning your skills. They are probably better than most people as you clearly state. But the attitude would affect everyone and I doubt that you are in a room by yourself and not having to deal with others. |

There is a fine line between experience and education. You're right... it does suck that you go to school all those years then they tell you they can't hire you until you get experience but you can't get experience because no one will hire you. |

Yes, but you have to understand, that the things you learned in college is just 10% of what you'll need to really perform in the "Real World". I also thought that way when I graduated in College ( with Honors ). But when I was already working, I realized, I was so wrong. It was entirely different in the outside world. |

So how much money have you made with your degree, or has it all just been paying money?
Real world = accomplishing things, not just paying for a sheepskin. |

Real World isn't anything like college. I have been working in accounting since 1974 and got a degree in 1991. Some of the stuff they teach students is wrong and some is just useless. I have helped students with homework and the answers the teachers want isn't the right answer. Take office supplies no business capitalizes them but a student will be told they are an asset. Once they graduate they can learn from the company how it is really done. The education does help but you wouldn't ever let a graduate with no experience be in charge of anything. |

There is a positive and negative connotation to your perception. Yes, some are more informed with updated information, but there is a BIG difference between harboring knowledge and the application of knowledge. Experience is invaluable because you learn by adapting instead of learning about those who learn by adapting. Moreover, accomplishments in a "Real World" setting shows an employer you can do it. A degree can only show an employer you know how to do it. Sorry about the setback, keep on keeping on.
There is a phenomenon called learning by doing. This proven economic theory teaches that those who repeatedly do the same work are more efficient then those who are new to the industry. It is more efficient to hire someone who has more experience. |
