If 3-5 years is the baseline, you deduct 3-5 years from the experience numbers and apply to those job postings. I.e. 3-5 years entry level? Apply after college. 5-8 years senior position? Apply after 2-3 years.

Job position descriptions are wish lists, if they don't find a candidate they will hire somebody that doesn't fit the bill 100%. Which is usually the people that dared to apply anyway.
