Catch-22 and job search
I’ve heard this phrase used so often, but I never experienced it first hand. The computer industry of the 1980s and 1990s was booming and had a huge demand for software developers and computer scientists. Even if someone had gaps in their experience or knowledge, they often got hired. But in my current search, I’m finding that organizations demand experience but are often unwilling to provide entry-level positions to provide such experience. In order to get a job, I need domain experience. But, I can’t get such experience without a job. Yossarian lives!
