Well, I really do have 8+years of total work experience. I've been working mostly in sales when I was still in school(worked every single day in the afternoons because my family couldn't afford my education) and I did it as a side hustle while still having contract based jobs in more recent years. Now the problem is that employers always tell me that these are not real work experiences and the usual BS. For them, if you have that much experience, you should be over 30. Seriously what the fuck. I'm so talented in sales that I could sell a pen to someone with no hands. But whenever I go on an interview or something they always find a way to cut that number in half or more. My last job, the bitch interviewer told me that she would consider only 1 year of relevant experience. I told her that my experience in sales also constitute relevant experience for the job I was applying for. She told me that I wasn't 18 at the time so it doesn't count. Seriously I am so fed up with finding a job because with my level of skills I could easily be making a lot more money given that salary commensurates with work experience. Recently, job hopping was the problem. So I condensed everything under single topics such as “Sales & Marketing Experience”, “Customer Care” etc. Now another issue. I guess I'm better off selling some weed huh?
