When the talent pool changes, so should expectations.
Unfortunately I can’t get our whole operations department to switch to iPads that don’t have file folders and require no understanding of what a local network is.
As I said, my expectation has changed to now expecting some experience. I don’t care if it contradicts 'entry level" because for most of the entire working world, being able to copy and paste files or text in boxes IS entry level, it’s not an advanced skill, it doesn’t pay more being able to do that, I can teach a child to do it. My issue is with people who read that there will be computer skills required and still come in, lie that they can do the work, and ask for help turning their computer on.
And they don’t need to, that’s not what entry level means.
If a skill isn’t needed in day to day life anymore and is needed for the job you’re putting out, it’s no longer a common knowledge skill.
