@sinbad she wasn't even applying for anything you'd need experience for, let alone a degree. Grocery stores, pubs, that kind of a thing. I don't know when things changed but even for these super low level, bottom of the ladder positions, you now have to go through questionnaires just to get an automated mechanic to decide if you can have an application form, and honestly the kinds of questions these things ask, even I didn't know how to answer - and I've had those jobs! Recruitment is awful now.
