well, this thread was on this forum and if you even read the last few posts you can see its obviously a feeling reciprocated by a lot of people.

Its a bit harsh, the ones having a rant on there expect a job on a plate for every Grad, not a chance its the real world.

As for Michael Winner on the forum he is racist, sexiest and basically thinks he knows everything because he has CIMA

Some have been posting for YEARS on that same post, very sad

I agree with it in part.

It's general sentiment felt by a lot of people INCLUDING those already in work.

Since this is the largest recession since 1990, when recruitment practices are "said" to have been tidied up, evidence of this sentiment now means old habits have resurfaced and recruiters have learnt nothing in 19 years...

I had a sad moment and looked at gumtree.

Clearly some unhappy unemployed people but they might be difficult to employ if they need to write in Englsih (even those who criticise others) The following extracts from some critics of agencies made me smile:-

Their a joke
I Agree Reeds are the worst
Than contact us on
It's different of course when it's you that becomes an emplyer.

The guy who wrote the note below then goes on to criticise the English of others

it has made me seen that I'm not the only one that is not getting anywhere with these agencies
“P.S> It's funny to see how people complain about other people's spelling when they clearly can't spell either, e.g. "YOU'RE spelling is terrible"

I think I can see why some find getting a job a tad difficult and - hey - we live in a victim culture so let's find someone or something to blame. What about an agency?
