hmm that seems to be a problem for me at interviews. i haven't quit my job but when i go for interviews employers seem to think i'm too specialised. i've only been in the workforce around a year, so it's as good as entry level/fresh grad.

it's frustrating till i almost feel like telling them outright sometimes "you can just treat me like a fresh grad, i don't mind." instead of trying to smoke about how my experience can help etc etc.

don't have any basic skills that are transferable at all? display willing to learn and can do attitude. if that still doesn't convince, then they are quite narrow minded. otherwise, there might be better candidates who have relevant experience.

yup, there are some mgmt ppl who are like that, even within the same industry and dept, they take the perspective that candidates should stick with the same area. don't be deterred by such ignorant ppl (if there is no reasonable justification), not every employer has such mindset.
