Just a quick thought

So I've spent pretty much all of today watching Dexter or applying for jobs and it occurred to me, there are millions of students who have just graduated right now. All of these people who, for the most part will have no experience working in office environments. Every time I look at a job application I see the same thing under the list of requirements "Must have experience in a similar role." It got me thinking, how are graduates and new workers supposed to get into any company when everywhere wants you to have experience? I was going to apply for a trainee IT support role but noticed I was ineligable because they wanted someone with 2 years experience in IT Support. How is that a trainee role then? If you have two years prior experience then you're not exactly going to see "Trainee IT support role" and think "Hmmm that's the job for me!"

Maybe it's getting to me constantly applying for jobs and never even getting a rejection letter, or constantly looking through jobs that sound like something I can do that then say you need experience or a drivers licence. The job centre is no help either, "just learn to drive then" was some advice I was given. Oh OK then, and who is going to pay for this? You? Because I sure as hell cannot afford to pay for weekly driving lessons on the £50 a week I'm getting from you.

Anyway, my rant about being unemployed is over and out of the way. I promise I'll have something a bit more fun next time, like my story about the sadist dentist.
