Even more laughable is the term 'graduate calibre'. WTF?
Perfectly reasonable term especially say in engineering where you have IEngs who depending on their age could have anything from a HNC to a BEng -reflecting the minimum qualification needed for academic exemption from the EngC.also doesn't put off people with HNDs or a Desmond /Richard

We are currently looking for one, maybe two multi disciplined Project Design Engineers to join our thriving Engineering company (located in Macclesfield, Cheshire) and using the services (or not as the case maybe) of 3 well know recruitment companies, with very limited success.
According to one of the recruiters, a new poll has suggested that people looking for jobs in the engineering industry may not be putting themselves forward enough.The research was carried out by the Engineering Employers' Federation and found that three-quarters of firms are struggling to find staff with adequate skills.
Is their a job shortage??? I'd say a skills shortage - do you know of any good, enthusiastic engineers with AutoCAD and projecting skills? Please do let me know!

My nephew has recently graduated with a 2.1 in ( I think) Design Engineering and is currently looking for a job, I will point him at this thread.According to one of the recruiters, a new poll has suggested that people looking for jobs in the engineering industry may not be putting themselves forward enough.The research was carried out by the Engineering Employers' Federation and found that three-quarters of firms are struggling to find staff with adequate skills.

Being a pedant you can't get a 2.1 in a masters, it's pass merit and distinction...
Undergraduate degrees are graded with the First - Pass system
It was an amalgamated BEng/MEng so even though I was doing my Masters I was still an undergrad. That's how they said they graded it anyway and what it says on my certificate. Did exactly the same modules as the MSc students though and the course length was the same.Undergraduate degrees are graded with the First - Pass system
