I'm a 2:2 graduate I can't even get minimum wage jobs

Have a bet with you that you can't im a serious gambler with big stakes, that would be a value bet to me. I will give you a year and half till your 30th to do so, lol.

Tom_Ford told me this, and he is a law grad. But I guess once again, you know better then people who actually studied the subject and know the industry.

Also, I remember when I applied to JP Morgan, tech side. On the app form, they asked you to disclose your modular marks.

Certain companies also ask for social media links and picture, they are all optional,lol.

Thanks for writing me off.

TBH mate, I hate people like you.

You have a set way of doing things, and if people go against the grain, you act like an arrogant ****.

I know there is a chance of failure, but you know what mate, at least I can say I tried. Unlike you, who is a spectator.

I will start up my own pharmacy, but i will get a guaranteed NHS contract on doing so,lol.

It hasn't happened yet.

And tech is harder than that I can imagine. As you don't have the NHS subsidising you.

It took my friend 4 years to get backing from google. I bet if you knew him during those 4 years, like you have just done with me, you would try and discourage him with your negativity.

Please, piss off.

should have gone to a top 5 uni then and got a 2;1 pal.

Every job I applied to I was called up to at the very least an interview. Sometimes I even flopped their online tests and still got an interview LOL. This is with ZERO experience at all.

It must suck though your degree subject is very good it's just the 2;2 holding you back.

I got £50k off google on a 25 min phone call my works on the internet, says it all. All about the key decision makers!

Again i worked for a software house, tangible benefit, LMAO. I know what it takes a little start up, it was cute for 3 weeks.

It is not that simple, but, the way I see it... you are competing with the whole world. Not just British universities. With graduate schemes, and particularly good ones, there are top graduates from places such as the Ivy League and elite universities from Asia/Europe. Go to any bulge bracket bank in London and you will see plenty of graduates from universities such as Bocconi/Sorbonne. It is an employer's market, they have the luxury of choice, the graduate does not really.

You are not a co-founder/founder of a start up. By that, thought of an idea, developed it, then pitched it to investors which takes a lot of hard work.

You worked for one, you are a worker - huge difference.

So stop being a smart ass.

Anyway, I don't have time for this bull****.

I feel it too, when i looked at deutsch bank, goldman sachs, i just didn't bother im way under experienced and my qualifications are way below par.

Neither are most directors, they get given the role by earning it! Its called working your way up, demonstrating a test of charactee, just like your disregard for shelf stacking and redoing alevels, laziness is a bad trait and there are no guarantees. But expecting to make a product from nothing and get millions, rather than redo a qualification and get a steady job? Shortcuts aren't alway the solution.

Know a guy on here called Zurich. First from LSE a year younger than the rest of the cohort, Economics. He struggled to get internships even with that profile because the recruiters were taking already qualified (primarily French) Europeans. Which makes sense because France faced what was pretty much an exodus of talent after the Hollande election. He is doing a PhD at LSE in Economics and is finding it easier now afaik, but it goes to show how high the bar is.

I graduated last month with a 2:2 in Computer science and since then I have been applying for graduate jobs non-stop with a lot of rejections. I then had to sign on JSA, now the Job center are advising me to work for free for 2 weeks in a call center to get "experience" which I've refused because I dislike to be exploited by the company and work for free in a field that does not interest me.

I explained to the Job centers that I'm interested in IT jobs to which they replied that they would not be paying me benefits so that I could sit and wait for a very specific job. And after applying to loads of minimum wage jobs and getting loads of rejections they want me to work for free in some crappy job to get experience.

The other day they sent me to a compulsory course which explained about how to use the internet to apply for jobs I thought it was laughable they must be stuck in the 90's. They have no clue on how to deal with graduates

The experience requirement is overstated. Many times, you do not need any professional experience at all. They know graduates won't tend to have much experience. Once you get to interview it is very much how much they would like to work with you that is at the crux of their decision. Source: family who conduct interviews, plus other contacts, take it with a pinch of salt obviously.

God for someone who went to KCL, your reading comprehension is ****.

My friend co founded that tech start up. In other words, he was there from the beginning. He did not work his way up. He created the damn thing with his business partner. And like everyone who takes this route there is always that fear of failure. But that is testament to how well he has done, by overcoming it and setting up a business that has now got corporate backing. The corporate backing did not happen overnight, it took time.

Anyway, it's clear I am not going to get through to you.

You can't think outside the box, always want to be right and see anything beyond corporates. Sad.

Yeah I know but the thing is with my uni I had no problem getting to at least interview stage for whichever job I applied to.

University matters a lot nowadays. I'd rather do psychology at oxford than computer science at a second or third tier university.
