No, but I remember the days in the late 90's when that was indeed the case. After a few years of getting "We're not hiring, and even if we were we wouldn't be hiring you" letters, I finally got a job after buying my own rating. (There's nothing new about that, despite it all being seemingly ryanair's fault.)
Within 6 months I was getting phone calls at home from those same companies.
It seemed to happen overnight, but the amusing and equally frustrating thing was we had all been predicting it for ages, and yes there were all those glass-half-empty people telling us we were all wasting our time and would never get a job. I still could never see the pleasure in that.
