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 YouTube.

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?
