Most jobs require relevant work experience, and thousands of students graduate from college every year. Opportunities are for those ambitious graduates who have completed internships, visited top companies, and made influential friends at college. Every step they take prepares the way for decent salaries, higher positions, and great success in not only their careers but also their lives.
Neither competitive nor experienced, I found it difficult to join a company as soon as I graduated. Being an editor was once my dream job, but the reality forced me to give up. Probably due to my lack of work experience, I sent my resume to several publishing houses but received no reply at all. Even though I looked for other types of jobs, I was still blocked, refused, or eliminated.
For employers, an employee's past experience is important; however, it doesn't guarantee their performance on every aspect. People who have failed several times are still likely to succeed in the future, while it is possible for people who have never failed to make big mistakes someday. Therefore, it would be a relief if companies could place a higher value on one's essence, characteristics, and potential than on their past.
