There is possibly an element of that. Some folks don't realise that you do have to do some research into the company you are doing an interview for.
I would say at the moment the biggest reason why folks straight out of flight school aren't getting many jobs is competition from more experienced pilots. A fresh graduate from flight school is now competing against a flight instructor who's been quietly flogging away teaching folks to fly and now has maybe 500-1000 hours or so. Also, the graduate is competing against a person who's been flying night freight in a Shed or F27 for the last couple of years. That person now has 500-1500 turbine multi crew hours. Also, there's the jet rated pilot that's just been made redundant because their company just went broke. That's who the graduate is up against right now.
