On the application (checked box). During first screening call. After technical interview. Only when asked directly.

What % of "entry-level" roles do you see asking for 3-5 years exp?

18. The Interpretation Test

When you see "3-5 years exp" for a junior role, what is the hiring manager truly signaling?

A Gatekeeping Tactic. A Seniority Filter (Mid-level at Jr salary). The False Unicorn (Not actually hiring).

A Demand for Leveraged Capability

The AI Impact answer.

Insight: Companies aren't looking for time travelers; they are looking for force multipliers. They want to know if you can use modern tools to do the work of a senior engineer from Day 1.

19. The Hiring Manager's Dilemma

Imagine you are 'Sami', an Engineering Manager. You have 20 mins to shortlist 400 apps. Who presents the strongest signal they can solve your problem immediately?

B) The Networker

Resume forwarded by colleague.

C) The Proven Builder

1-page portfolio + 90s video demo of working app.

D) The Skill Collector
