Students face heavy competition for vacation places as firms slash schemes

I fully agree that firms should be honest. I very much doubt that there is a "lack of interest" in A&Os easter vs. Similarly, I know a friend who received a rejection letter from a firm that had cancelled its graduate recruitment programme. The email read along the lines of: "Thank you for your application....many excellent candidates....you have been unsuccessful" etc. I found that wholly offensive, implying a candidate wasn't good enough when in fact they had made the decision not to recruit anyone.
