What’s the best way to break into a role that requires specific experience? Trying to change roles within finance and they all want specific experience for entry level positions?

Also what would the cutoff for graduate entry level jobs be? I have four years experience in finance but not the type of role but really want a career change.

I'm not sure where you're at in your career, but the easiest way to "Fast-track" is internships.

In the job poster, they will tend to list some things under essential and others as asset. Essential = must have, and Asset = optional.

Generally, entry level would be 5 years of less. Yes, it is quite a paradox. They are trying to get the person who gets the closest amount but usually not get someone who has exactly 5.

An exception is the government and military. They tend to be very strict on these requirements.
