Job experience? I am confused. What highly skilled jobs are we 
talking about at this level which require experience, anyway?

Job skills may not be the important factor in getting a job at this level,
however a worker who has a record of good attendance and hard work (even
if earned at $2.50) would have a better shot at a job than someone with
no work history.
