Replace 'young people' with 'new grads'. The point is it is extremely
competitive if you're starting out, if you have 5 / 10+ years of
experience behind you then most of what I have said goes down the
toilet. But that isn't what we are talking about.

What I typed is harsh, but it is true. Work in any of those 'FTSE100
Blue-chip company's' recruitment departments and they will say the
same I have.
