Job Edge

Considering you haven’t accumulated that much.

For example,

A job requires that you have 2 years experience. However, you’re a fresh graduate BUT the degree you have is very much aligned with what they are looking for. Should you pursue or not? What are the chances of being considered? Accepted even?
How about if you have a Masters degree? Surely that counts for something more than work experience from a repetitive and dull job. Or is it still irrelevant?

Companies consider actual work experience as desirable as it saves a lot of time training-wise.
Schools made the mistake of hiring young teachers - university graduates - with absolutely no idea of how to handle 30-40 students at a time rather than giving experienced teachers the opportunity to return to the profession
