You’ve also got a 20% chance that there isn’t even a real position open and this is a market survey, and a 20% chance that management already selected who they’re going to hire in advance and is doing this job posting purely as a formality.
New grads, with 5 years experience, welcome to apply.
With a sign like that, they definitely need a cashier that knows their math.
They forgot the requirement for a Master’s of Mathematics.
twenty years experience for being a cashier? i learned how to do it in one night at 16 when i worked at a supermarket.
Back when I was still on Reddit I remember someone sharing a job posting calling for 10 years of experience in a 5 year old language. I don’t know if it was real or not but it’s typical of the crazy requirements for those jobs.
They’re real. I also encounted one.
its usually because HR didnt interpret tequirements correctly. sometimes when it says 5 years on x language what was originally meant to be said is that you are a programmer that has programmed for at least 5 years (kinda mid level) and you have mid experience with said language, and not necessarily 5 years of said language.
so 5 years of java programming should actually say
5 years of programming/mid seniority programmer who is comfortable with java
That’s probably what happened. However the job description as written was kind of silly.
I think it could be understood to mean between the two skill sets, having a total of five years experience. But that could be 7 years of python and ten minutes of FastAPI, so it’s still a bad metric.
FastApi is is a python web framework. I read this as he did, i.e “5 years in fastapi AND python” as you would need python experience to use fastapi.
What’s even better is when some big company is looking for a Senior employee but they want to pay a junior’s salary…
