If you've been hunting for junior roles recently, you're likely familiar with this infuriating scenario:
"Wanted: fresh graduate with 5 years of experience 🙃"
So frustrating...
Job boards are full of misleading positions like these. They demand extensive portfolios and the sort of advanced skills and depth of knowledge you only acquire after years of industry experience.
Weeding out companies that aren't actually looking for junior talent turns the job search into a grueling endurance test.
But when graduates, school leavers, and career changers resign themselves to general job boards, this is exactly what they face.
We've built something better.
Our Mission
Real Entry Level is the jobs platform where "entry level" means exactly that: zero prior industry experience required.
Our team knows how the recruitment system functions. Collectively, we have applied, interviewed, and recruited for countless jobs over our careers. This means we've developed a sharp eye for telling whether a job ad offers a genuine entry level role, or just a dead end.
Every job that you'll find on our board has been handpicked by us. We want entry level jobseekers to feel that they have a real shot of securing the jobs featured on our platform.
And we intentionally highlight jobs that are actually applicant-friendly. That means upfront salaries, clear hiring steps, remote flexibility, and simple applications instead of endless, repetitive job portals.
In short, quality over quantity.
The Real Entry Level Promise
What you will find here:
- True entry-level roles and graduate schemes.
- Junior positions where on-the-job training is provided.
- Apprenticeships and internships that pay a fair wage.
What you won't find here:
- "Junior" roles asking for 3+ years of experience.
- Unpaid internships disguised as "opportunities for exposure."
- Misleading job titles.
