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.
