The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

Entry level means different things in different fields. Most skilled jobs do require some knowledge about the field, but don't necessarily require previous work experience.

Thank you. This wasn't a joke where we were like "entry level; requires 5 years of experience". This job fair was at a community college... So it wouldn't have been unreasonable to think that maybe someone there had some interest and at least a minimal level of training. Like I said, a class or two.
