Job Application Rant #1

So, today I found a great job posting on Linkedin. I was excited and created a unique cover letter and my resume and applied. The job was in another country and I need EU work visa for the job.

The contact for the post was also founder of the company. I asked him, via Linkedin, that if they would sponsor the visa for me if everything went good.

He replied to me that " yes we do sponsor visas, but you have only 3 years of programming experience..."(three dots included). I was like wtf, did I miss important part of post about experience minimum limit or something. I would not like to be spam-applier, guy who applies without reading requirements etc.

I checked requirements again there is no minimum experience limit. Anyways, I thanked him for swift response but damn bruh, do not put unlockable requirements to job posts, so someone's dream would not be crushed.

    That’s the frustrating part about job applications in general. You never know if they’re putting the experience requirement there as a “nice to have” or a “necessary”.

    @AmyShackles in my case, it is worse: i had to contact the guy to unlock secret requirement.

    On the street every day I saw a lot of different ads and always thought that my abilities would not be enough for such a position. But after https://craftresumes.com/ I realized that I was wrong, this site gave me everything.
