Busting Australia's job myths with Jamie Hyneman | The truth about finding the right job for you

"You can't get a job without experience". Is the saying really true? Jamie Hyneman of Mythbusters fame puts this idea to the test with Alex Apollonov, famous for his engineering feats on KZfaq.
It's a theory worth testing, because a whopping 78% of Australians believe they can’t get a job without experience.
That's where skills come in. In an electrifying battle to break into the industry, will Alex’s unique skills win against Jamie’s years of know-how? Can he get the job over someone with years of experience? Watch the full experiment above to find out.
It turns out that in reality, 52% of job ads in Australia don't include any screening questions about having experience in similar roles*
The takeaway here is that you might suit more jobs than you know. Why not see where your skills can take you?
There’s no secret to finding the right job - with better job matches than ever before, search SEEK today.

Never before have intentionally watched an entire KZfaq advert, and then track the advert down to share it. Good job seek marketing team, this is an amazing ad 🎉

Top tier advertising, idk who thought or this, but I'm incredibly thankful. Almost feels like a passing of a torch to a new generation of Mythbuster inspired content Creators, and Alex is definitely worthy

If only it were actually possible to get an engineering job that pays £140k a year with no experience whatsoever. Try it and I guarantee you'll get many of the classic 'thanks for your application BUT' emails in response. Employers will always go for someone with experience. If you come from a working class family and have no money it's impossible to support yourself doing unpaid work in expensive cities to get experience. That goes for pretty much any well paid job. I got a degree in advertising and only after finishing the course was I told by the lecturers that 'you won't be able to get a job at an advertising agency unless you have 1 or 2 years of experience through unpaid internships'. Coming from a working class background with no money that immediately put an end to my dreams, whilst my classmates with rich families eventually all got positions. Instead of spending huge amounts of money producing these ads that perpetuate a lie, how about you financially support people with low/no income so they can survive unpaid internships/work?

Great to see Jamie again! Even though Alex opened the door first, his way has a much higher chance of getting hurt. Not sure if an employer wants someone who solves your problems with first using explosives and thermite.🤣🤣🤣

This is a cool crossover but it feels a bit rigged, of course the guy with “no experience” is the one to do it because it fits the narrative, and unfortunately, this doesn’t really change anyone’s mind I think that 78% still holds

We'll take the 'cool crossover' - thank you very much! 😀 You do realise that we've taken creative licence in how we bring that data to life though...
