5 years experience makes you a director?

Can someone explain how 5 years experience would prepare you for this role? This is why we can't get jobs, companies have unrealistic expectations and are hiring people who don't have the length of service to do the job well. Either this shouldn't be a director level job or 10 years should be the threshold. Seniority Level Director Industry Construction Financial Services Real Estate Employment Type Full-time Job Functions Management Manufacturing Qualifications And Experience Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction, or related technical field Knowledge of building systems, systems commissioning, and systems design 5-10+ years of relevant experience Working knowledge in the field of property management, building design and/or real estate, with an interest in labspace, highly desirable Excellent verbal and written communication skills Proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook). Familiarity with CADD, BMS systems and maintenance work request systems a plus. Client service oriented attitude a must High attention to detail and organizational skills Ability to work on multiple projects Proficient problem-solving, analytical, and ability to follow directions a must Knowledge of thermal metering and other utility sub-metering skills

It is possible the company is casting a wider net to avoid excluding people (women?) with transferable skills from another industry or function. This may be to address the concern that women don’t apply unless they meet 80% or more of the qualifications whereas men would apply having much less.

About this group

We went to college in the 90s, started our careers when cell phones were a luxury that came with a shoulder bag and fax machines were the newest tech. Here we are now, in what should be the best years of our career facing an ever changing work culture that sees established Boomers still running the show with Millennials expecting to be the next leaders. Meanwhile we just want to take a vacation, make sure the kids get to soccer practice and fund our 401k.
