Lots of companies need skills they don't know how to ask for. So they advertise for the wrong things. For example a medium size real estate firm probably needs someone to deal with the computers. Its a grind but cold reach out can go far
- mistrial9 2y agothis seems like bad example.. a commercial company in the US almost always has Windows.. Windows is a merry-go-round of virus and intrusive, debilitating updates. Professional consultants in every big city exist to do nothing but get paid to babysit Windows. Why spend money on training a junior that may leave, instead of hiring the consultants that know how to babysit Windows? .. Secondly, real estate is close to law and banking, where there is a culture of semi-arbitrary seniority.. juniors do as they are told by their managers or else you are replaced. It is a situation that most adults quickly try to leave, but there are infinite numbers of new semi-desperate people to replace the juniors, as there have been for the last several centuries in those professions. For those two reasons, a real estate office is a bad example of the dynamics of hiring junior (high skill) CS graduates IMHO I agree that companies do a poor job of advertising and screening for skills that they really need. Guessing, it might have to do with HR or worse, bad-intention managers, copying the habits of other hiring practices blindly.
