Discussion on: Why does every single job posting ask for at least a year of experience?

Oh, and using "years of experience" can also help applicants get a better idea of the actual job requirements and qualifications. For example, a "Senior Engineer" job at the local mom & pop web development shop and a "Senior Engineer" at, say, Google would (probably) require very different skills and experience levels.

Thanks Jesse, as you said, it's not about applying to every single job, but those where I have the confidence and almost all the skills, hiring is investment, and as a lot of people say: You already have the "no" answer, so you don't lose anything by trying to get the yes.

Thanks and I think your answer is my favorite :)
