The Catch-22 job market interview exists today. How does a job candidate get experience if he or she doesn't get hired to get experience? The Catch-22 job market interview existed yesterday. The Catch-22 job market interview exists tomorrow.
Many white-collar jobs require Excel. Give it time in today's Information Age. Up to 99% of white-collar jobs require Excel. No Excel. No job offer. No X skills. No job offer. Many jobs require past job experience. Hiring managers don't have time to train. It's not the hiring manager's fault. Blame the job market interview system. Blame the Information Age. Blame life. More jobs require more skills. More jobs require more experience. More skills require time to learn. More skills require money to learn. More skills require for more experience. Hiring managers and department co-workers neither have the time nor the patience to train because they have too many responsibilities. The company is unlikely to train because training costs money. There is someone in the job market with the skills and experience. Hire the person. Plug and play. Moreover, it's embarrassing to the job candidate the job description failed to disclose the skills and experience required during the interview process for which the job candidate doesn't have the skills and experience. "Why am I being interviewed," said the job candidate inside his or her head.
There Are Exceptions With Luck
I speak from experience. Job candidates hired may be lucky their hiring manager provides training. I was offered training by my hiring manager for two job interviews for which I was hired in one interview. The job I worked my hiring manager trained me in front-end Salesforce which was easy. The job I didn't work the hiring manager offered training in Salesforce reporting.
