So 1 job per 89 applicants. There was an article in the London Paper recently where they carried stats on the average number of graduate applications for different industries, banking and insurance were both over 100 appications per role. FMCG had like 250 applications for job, I don’t even know what FMCG is !

I felt the Fast Stream application process was unbiased in terms of institution attended, even though in the final round there were a lot of Oxbridge people the assessors don't know which university you've attended they make their recommendation blind. That brings it all the way down to 43 applicants per job, it sounds a lot but welcome to the world of graduate recruitment.
