How to spot suspicious job offers for web designers who say "no experience necessary"
There may be some suspicious job postings for web designers that say "No experience necessary." In fact, there are some stories of people who applied to "No experience necessary" jobs and failed, as there was a big gap between the job description in the job description and the job they were given after changing jobs.

However, not all job offers that say "No experience required" are suspicious. Let's learn how to easily tell if a job offer that says "No experience required" is one you can apply for with confidence.

Be skeptical of jobs that say you have no knowledge or skills in web design
Web design jobs that you can apply for even if you have no knowledge or skills are probably suspicious. Web design is not a job that you can do without knowledge or skills, and it is not an unpopular job that requires low application barriers to attract people.

In many cases, companies hire mid-career candidates in order to hire people who can contribute immediately. Usually, "no experience as a web designer" means "no practical experience as a web designer," and it is assumed that the candidate has at least a minimum level of knowledge and skills in web design.

Be sure to search by company name and check reviews.
If you see a job posting that seems suspicious, be sure to do a web search of the Cambodia Telegram company name to check the company information. Be wary if the company does not have a website, if the business activities seem completely unrelated to the web, or if the company is extremely small.

Also, check the company's reviews. If you find information such as a large gap between the job description and the actual work, or a high turnover rate, we recommend that you refrain from applying.

Why are there job offers that are "OK for people with no experience"?
In the job market, there are not many web designer jobs that people with no experience can apply for. However, sometimes, reputable companies with a proven track record in the industry will post job openings with the condition that "no experience required."

Why are these companies able to post job openings for "no experience necessary" when they are looking for mid-career employees who can contribute immediately? Here are two main reasons.

Because the educational system is in place and there is a platform for accepting inexperienced people
Many companies that are looking to hire people with no experience have a certain level of staff size and their design department plays an important role. Companies that already have a large number of designers on staff and also hire new graduates have a well-established training system, so there is room for people with no experience even in mid-career recruitment.
