When a job posting asks for 1-2 years of experience in the field under "qualifications", does that mean upcoming college graduates should apply?

Asked by swingliner (245points) November 9th, 2009

I’m about to graduate college and I’ve only had 3 months of experience in my field at an internship program. I’ve also had a year of experience in a part-time job that is somewhat related to this field (but by no means part of the field itself).

So if a job posting requests “1–2 years of experience”, does that mean I’m okay? I’ve never seen a post that asked for 0–1 years of experience, ever.

Of course, I’ve already applied to some of these 1–2 years positions, but I wanted to get a good idea of what my chances are so that I don’t waste my time in the future.
