Just want to vent off about Milkround.com
Do they have any idea how demoralising it is getting email after email that open with the phrase:
"Do you hold or are you expecting a 2.1 or 1st class degree?"
NO I !!!!!!! WELL DON'T!!! SEND ME SOME JOB ADVERTS THAT DON'T WANT 2-A-PENNY MANAGEMENT 2.1 GRADUATES!!!!
So annoyed with these emails that are supposed to be helpful, yet appear to be useless to everyone with a 2.2 or "worse"...
:mad:
(Sorry i don't intend on this becoming a StudentPhil style thread - just needed to let out some anger, i'm going off for a cry now)

SO TRUE!!!
Just delte delete delete them!0 -
I've blocked them, I can't even remember how I got on their mailing list, but I've only been at uni for a term, and I not even contemplating about jobs yet...0

I just missed a 2.1, and even the "secondpost" email (follow on to milkround) still often requests a 2.1 or better!
Strangely, those of us that got a 2.2 or 3rd are actually doing alot better in our careers than those who got a 1st! My mate got a 3rd in Engineering and is now working as a manager for a very large engineering company and doing VERY well for himself.
Experience counts for alot more than a degree for alot of companies!
And lots of job applications are restricted by the number of A Level points you got, so those with anything less than 3Cs can't apply. Thankfully I got mostly As at school
Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0
