| I agree...every job I see requires experience. How is a new graduate supposed to even enter the job market outside the grad schemes?! |

| most FO jobs (other than as grad hires) require experience even in the boom times. and even then, one could argue that some experience is required in the form of internships. if you're not applying via a grad "scheme" as such, then get SOME experience, if necessary in the form of non-paid shadowing someone on a desk (anywhere, any asset class will do). try to get your FSA exams done, as these are simply an administrative pain for you to do once you start somewhere; the fact you've shown the initiative will also stand you out from the crowd of wannabe traders/salespeople. do some spreadbetting, read books, just make sure that you have as good an understanding of the esoteric jargon juggernaut that WILL hit you when you start... it's a lot more difficult (and embarrassing) having to ask (seemingly stupid) questions when you're under pressure ... try looking on a trading floor when someone's unsure of their position 30 seconds before payroll numbers are out! |

| Grads you should have done an internship or temped over the summers to get the experience, stop applying to Shipwrecked. It is offensive to expect a hand out at the end of your 4 years for going to the library. Clearly people are getting these jobs and HR know that they exist. Pick up the phone and sort out some work experience. |

| I think you have to put Morgan McKinley into context: they specialise in back and middle office roles. Thus plenty of junior product control roles available, but whether there are plenty of junior front office roles available remains to be seen. |
