level of entry as an employee in a company


Explanation:
does not necessarily mean that the person has no experience; rather, this is the lowest level of a particular company

there are many companies who will not hire anyone without work experience; they still have many entry-level positions

See explanation


Explanation:
It is the lowest level of competency classified as such, and set aside for a novice employee, by the employee (medical lab in this case). Therefore the level is subjective and can be in higher level of competency in other employments (hospital, company, government, whatever).

Woops, typo ---- correction needed is: by the \"employer\" (medical lab in this case) ---- not \"employee\"

If you are looking for one word, I would say \"STARTER-LEVEL\" or just \"STARTER\".

neutral  Andrea Pate-Cazal (X): it was already said "MTLA mit abgeschlossener Ausbildung aber ohne Erfahrung"-das ist ein Absolvent oder eben Berufseinsteiger, ich wäre mit dem Umgang von disagree etwas sparsamer, vorallem wenn ich Ideen anderer als meine eigenen ausgebe (see Cilian..)
36 mins
  -> ok und sorry, ich hätte "neutral" angeben müssen, weil ich nicht sicher war, ob Absolvent und Berufseinsteiger synonym sind.
