Disclaimer: This is purely anecdotal, and not backed by any data.<p>I&#x27;m in my mid-twenties and just recently started interviewing people for the team I work on. It&#x27;s amazing how little effort many seemingly qualified people put in to secure an entry-level job. Whether it be hustle to learn more about a business, the specifics about the company you might work at, or finding someone to give a second set of eyes on a cover letter or resume, most people really drop the ball. If job prospects are grim, you&#x27;d at least hope people would put in more effort.
