Anyone who has recently graduated or looked for their first job will confirm, entry-level employment have vanished.


A recent report of nearly 4 million jobs advertised on LinkedIn since the end of 2017 have shown that 35% of the entry-level jobs requested years of had often working experience. In some industries, this necessity was even more common. For example, over than 60% of listings required 3 years of observation for entry level firmware and IT services jobs. In short, it appears that entry-level jobs are not just employed by people.

While it's more difficult than ever to get that first job, Alan Seals, an economics associate professor at Auburn University, USA, says it is also more significant than ever. Maybe it's the lowest step on the employee ladder, but a first job set the tone for his career.

"The first three years is the most important moment in your career," he says. "It really matters the performance of your first employer. So, how are you going to get a first job? ”

The simple answer is that employees need more than inspiration or a college education to enter the job market now, whether they are many internships or the links to get round the complex application procedure without an algorithm to weaken them. But not everyone has access to these benefits, and the conclusion is that employees are left behind.

The growth of the internship.

An increasing internship market means that more young people develop their curriculum vitae before they go to university, says Seals, who notes that many of the students now get their first internship after the first year.

"The internships are the entry level now," he says. "The majority of students at college do or try to complete internships, and now more than one is increasingly common."
