I guess the part I don't get about everyone saying to take it and immediately start looking for a new job using your new title is that the new job doesn't ask you how much experience or time you have with your new title?

Like, do they really not ask for 2+ years experience in that position or do you just lie to them or do you say, "Yeah, about 3 days now!" ?

From what I've heard is recuritment has a sort of preference for candidates.

So that's starts: People they know that can do the job.

People that they know, that know someone that can do the job.

Then I guess it would be people already doing the job.

So you're not going to be in as good of a position as someone that has 2+ years in the business. But what it does show is that the company you worked for, for a while, thought you was good enough to promote to that level. It's definitely going to make you more likely to get the job at a competitor. If it doesn't just keep apply for 6 months. By that time you will have 6 months experience.

You might need a month on the job, ratger than 3 days, just to show you been trained to run that job.

Also just because a job says 2+ years experience doesn't mean they wont overlook that. It's just that's what they prefer.

Ah ok, well I guess that makes sense.
