they are using the right wing blaming strategy: blames the student for choosing a “useless” degree, and not having ‘CONNECTIONS’/networking, these basically are a form of Nepotism to be honest, not many people can get connections like that, and its based on “knowing a person of a person with said company that is friendly with a HR manager” i guessed correctly in another forum(indeed) that its around half when they decide if they want to hire you.
