Atleast hes finding out before getting all the rejection letters
That was probally the most demorilising parts for me, your told all along through your degree that a degree opens up so many opertunities and makes finding employment easy (and before uni too, at college the careers advisor pretty much told everyone that with a degree youd walk into any job you wanted) so you apply thinking "I may not have the skills but I have a degree so the jobs mine" only to get bombarded with rejection letters even for those your qualified for.
Atleast now he will know how hard it is to get the start and he wont waste the time many do thinking its going to be easy. You have to be agressive and really go fo it. Apply for anything that intrests you, even if you dont have the skills they want as it can open doors or someone might see something in the CV they like and may give you a chance. Send spec letters out to companies and not just 1 or 2, your looking for 10's or even 100's.
Also as Dante mentioned, employment agencies are a good start and dont be afriad of temping to get extra skills for your cv
