Yeah, I know. But if there was full employment (God, I wish!), they could not afford to be so pathetically choosy and would be glad of any staff they could get.

Incompetent staff, who couldn't be bothered to do a decent job or have any incentive to learn since they know there's plenty of other work available. The end product is rubbish and nobody will buy it, so the firm goes broke... Hey, wait a minute, haven't we been here before? Isn't it obvious that in today's employment environment, employers are going to prefer to employ people with experience? So, what do they do? Hey, I know, let's put in the advert "Experience required".
Carpe diem.

Abbot, I totally agree with you about these employers wanting experience. It's the old, old story, isn't it: just how on earth can you get the experience if nobody will give you a job?
I am getting really fed up with living in this country and its scarcity of jobs. Often I have thought about emigrating. To emigrate you need SKILLS and EXPERIENCE that are in short supply in your chosen destination. Also, you probably wouldn't warrant a second look if you're unemployed in your own country.

Voluntary work would probably be the easiest and quickest way to gain experience and also looks good on your CV.

You are right about voluntary work. I am applying now for such positions. Wish me well.
