Jon Snow: So FS, you graduated from university 11months ago but have been unable to find lasting employment?
Former Student: That's right, some temporary jobs but nothing lasting, it's so disheartening.

Even a university job interview demands a clean shirt and smart-ish trousers :)
And those interviews comprehensively miss the point. It's not that the applicants are under-qualified or unappealing: there are simply too many of them. Or, to put it differently, there aren't enough jobs. If applicant B gets his act together then applicant A doesn't get the job and the figures remain the same.
Lucky kid, he's had *several* jobs in the last 18 months. I've had *one* job lasting three months in the last 20 months. He probably doesn't have a mortgage and pension to try and keep paying either.
