Yes, minimum requirements are not actually minimum requirements. So silly for people taking things literally.
That’s the thing, they aren’t minimum requirements. They’re a form that HR fills out based on what HR thinks the job is, not based on what the actual job is.
i often see a list of minimum and preferred.
"Minimum Bachelor's Degree with major in Accounting, Finance or Economics"
"Prior audit or relevant accounting experience preferred, but not required."
Strikes me as "This job can be done by anyone with a high school education that knows how to open Excel, change a cell value, and send an email. Other duties as assigned."
Then the job listing should say that instead.
HR wants to earn their pay too.
Writing accurate job requirements would de doing their job.
You've never worked in a corporate environment, have you?
That doesn’t mean anything, unless you’re in a field with government mandated certifications. If you know someone that already works there, ask them to submit your resume to get around the automatic rejections.
I know that's not the whole job listing, but but none of it specifies a minimum requirement for the job. The 'minimum' qualification just indicates that they're not going to take note of lower qualifications, or those without an appropriate Major, not that having one is a minimum requirement. All things being equal, they're certainly going to prefer someone with that qualification, but if you can get past the screening and show aptitude with the skills they actually need, you've got a chance.
People here expecting a bureaucracy to behave not only like a person, but like a honest and transparent person with simple and plainly stated goals...
They’re not usually labeled “minimum requirements”
That may be what you’re interpreting, but they’re usually titled “ideal applicants will have the following” which isn’t the same thing
It feels like the same thing to people with rigid views on the world, but they are not the same.
It's not people with rigid world views, but people who don't know the social cues/"legalese" of job speak.
AKA local bullshit.
