<prompt> Human: Im just graduating from graduate school and I having a severely difficult time getting a job. I read an article not too long ago that the average entry level position requires 3-5 years of experience. This seems backwards because theres no way to get experience if you dont have experience. This brings me to my question. Why is it so bad for companies to hire new grads? The obvious answer is that they dont have to put in the time or effort to train and help transition people from an academic setting to an privateindustrial setting. But is that really worth it? They may lose their initial investment but after a year or two they have an employee who they can pay less than someone who has been around for a while AND they have a much stronger commitment to the company. I feel like if Im willing to relocate to a company after 3-5 years experience at one company that I may be willing to quit that company after another 3-5 more years. However, for myself, Im looking for a company that I can settle down at. Im willing to put in the roots and return that investment that the company gave to me in that first year or two. So why do so many companies just throw out resumes that do not have any privateindustrial experience?  <response>: Because people with work experience know how to do the job, or at least mostly.And there is no job loyalty, people are always looking to score something better.
