My advice would be to stop relying on this career officer guy. If Oxford are suggesting that they will get you a job through their "contacts" they are unfairly building up the hopes of graduates. Oxford is a business, you are a statistic, a form of income. When you leave if you want a job you have to be pro-active, this is a hard fact, passing Oxford is difficult and expensive work but the work is not finished. I understand people are very upset as they have paid all this money and Oxford is not following through. The sooner you go looking for jobs yourself the sooner you will have one. The industry is about supply and demand, airlines are reluctant to spend money so a type rating may be an advantage. The real world can be s**t but i guarantee you it's worth it when you do get a job.
