Sure, but nobody expects a 23 year old to have a two decade old LinkedIn account or work history.

(Except maybe the sorts of idiots who write job descriptions requiring 10+years of experience with some tech that's only 2 years old, and the recruiters who blindly publish those job openings. "Mandatory requirements: 10+ years experience using ChatGPT. 5+ years experience deploying MCP servers.")

so.. most of them?

Anyway the problem is not a hiring person expecting it, it's systems written with not enough thought that will expect it for them, and flag the people as untrustworthy who do not match expectations.
