However, there seems to be a big gap between what job applicants think they need to do to land the role vs what companies are looking for.

Curious to hear, what are some of your obstacles and stuck points in your job search?
Companies want candidates who have very specific experience in certain areas. But to get the experience, one will need a role where they can pick up such experience. Everyone wants to hire someone who can hit the ground running, but no one wants to train. It's a chicken and egg problem.
