"He’s a recent Economics graduate who’s looking for work experience or a job.
"Can anyone help him out?"

Mixed reactions trailed her post

Freddie Jones said:

"Is the job market really so bad that econ graduates from Manchester Uni can’t get a job?! Wow."

Christopher Elliott wrote:

"So this young lad spent upwards of 40k on university and now has to stand outside a train station trying to get work experience. Do you see any plumbers/brickies/electricians or those with a trade doing this. All credit to this young man for having the confidence to put himself out there. University should have to find these young people placements and work experience for the money they charge."

"Why are people applauding this? If graduates need to beg in the streets just to get some work experience, surely it’s a sign that the hiring system is broken. Maybe we should focus on changing hiring attitudes towards recent graduates instead of encouraging this kind of behaviour?"

Douglas Johnson-Poensgen reacted:

"Amir Kidwai I admire your approach and the grit it takes to do this. Please connect with me and lets chat - if you are interested in sustainability tech, we’re hiring."
