I recently interviewed for a position in an insurance company. The interview actually went well and got some great feedbacks, but I got turned down anyway because the company wanted someone with more experience. Now, I acknowledge that I already have a job, just trying to move up, so I’m in much better shape than many other people. Nonetheless, I’m annoyed by the “experience” rationale. If every company is looking for experience, how does anyone get started in the first place?
