AJC -- A job search, like any good bureaucracy, comes with its very own Catch-22 -- the vicious cycle where a particular thing is required to get the desired outcome, but is unavailable unless you’ve already achieved the outcome it was meant to bring about. Following me? If not, that’s normal. Confusion is one of the hallmarks of a classic Catch-22. The job search version of this phenomenon is the “Experience required” line on job postings. You need experience to get the job, but you need the job in order to get experience.
