Despite saying they had reviewed my resume I learned in the interview that I didn't meet their requirements. They expect 2 years of experience or a bachelors for entry-level roles with 'associate' in the title, and advertise these jobs in the entry-level categories of job sites. When you hire for people who have 2+ YoE but are still applying for entry-level roles in the country's most in-demand profession, instead of looking at portfolios and the actual capabilities of the individuals, you attract people who ride a desk and do the bare minimum not to be fired.
