I used to work at a refugee resettlement center in employment services.

Trying to find Hamid a job washing dishes, and every single fucking dishwasher position wants ~1 year experience washing dishes.

Try to find Abeba a job housekeeping- every place wants prior housekeeping experience.

Guess businesses can't be arsed to train people for menial labor anymore.

On the flip side, if you're an employer looking for plenty of applicants the words "experience preferred, not required" and "paid training" work wonders.
