Once,your degree alone would get you a job, says Paul Redmond, head of the careers and employability service. Today employers can afford to demand much more of prospective staff. "The competition for jobs is so intense, and often the differentiators are those so-called soft skills," he says. "Small talk isn’t small talk in a business setting."

And as unpaid internships--often obtained through family contacts--become increasingly common, experts on social mobility believe young people from less privileged backgrounds are being put at an even greater disadvantage.
