Entry-level jobs are typically thought of as positions requiring little to no prior experience or skills.
But it's a longstanding gripe among job seekers on social media that job listings' requirements are more ambitious.
"Companies listing 'Masters preferred' for entry level office positions," posted another.
In a 2022 report from McKinsey & Company, the second-most-cited barrier to employment was a lack of experience, relevant skills, credentials or education.
Less than 61% of human resources leaders said in 2023 that they are hiring for entry-level and less-specialized positions, down from 79% in 2022, according to a PwC survey.
