I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was “minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X”. My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

    The job hunt is like any other hobby or skill. Some bits are obvious and written down. Some bits are learned by talking to other people who have done it.

    This “skill” seems as relevant for most jobs as being able to read a horoscope. Sure, it’s technically a skill, but it shouldn’t be there as a “hidden requirement” on first place.

    [inb4 I’m aware that you said in another comment that you aren’t “saying it’s the right way to do it.” I’m talking about the shitty approach being shitty, not blaming you.]
