Q: When a newspaper advertises that it wants someone with 3-5 years experience and I have more than that, does that mean I won't be considered?
Steve
A: That generally is a minumum.
For some jobs, however, newspapers may for budget reasons want to hire a less-experienced person.
In almost all cases, the right candidate can get the job even though he or she has a different amount of experience than the ad states.
