henryoo2,
All well and good, having that positive outlook, BUT if the employer requires experience that 'you don't have', all the positive waves will not make a difference.
When it's time to fish or cut bait, those that have the biggest bait catch the fish....as in experience talks, BS walks.
Demeaning or condecending...no, just realistic.
The way it is....in todays very competitive market.
UNless, you find a company that will recruit and train....for the long term, and be prepared for that long term bond that is nearly always required (and rightly so, IMO).
