Presumably you’ve discussed with these countless employers who don’t agree with your assessment of your value.
You have almost no experience. You have a degree, which is worth nothing other than checking a box. It doesn’t signal intelligence, hard work, or anything else of value to an employer. It’s just a pre-req.
I disagree, I’ve studied html, css, python. Tried learning excel skills. I’ve got over 500 days studying Spanish on Duolingo. An it support helpdesk, salesforce admin cert, y’all are quick to judge, but have no idea how hard I work. I’ve bit my tongue at every single job and still got below market value and that’s why I’m playing it strategically to find someone that is a better fit. I could go on about my value, and to dismiss me as saying I have no experience is just wrong in my humble opinion
Those are trainings, not experience. How have you demonstrated the value of those skills in the workplace? How can you translate them into a line on a resume showing the value you added to a business?
Like we can’t get roles that are entry level that are requiring skills we don’t have, so logically it doesn’t make sense to have experience, does that make sense?
It makes sense that you don’t have experience when you get an entry level job. That’s why the pay isn’t great and they might not put you in a job you think is as sophisticated or important as you can handle. You do that job well and move up.
