Yes, I'll be sure to make The Apprentice my pension plan. Right after Powerball and Publishers Clearinghouse.
Actually, I was using a hypothetical situation to make a point. But I have talked to HR Managers and told them I have creative, technical, and communication skills that would seamlessly transfer to their particular profession. But they've all politely told me that I don't have the "exact" experience on their candidate qualifications sheet. And right now my profession is only offering entry-level positions. Sucks to know that employers are giving preference to recent graduates than to those with decades of experience, even though they all know we're willing to work for the same salary to avoid being homeless in a few months.
EDIT LATER:
Oh - 16 months now.
