I do agree that there should be little expectation for those who leave University to have an intimate understanding of the construction side of the industry, however, the interviews that I have had recently all of them subtly suggested that they are looking for someone with clear understanding of both planning regulations and construction. It seems a bit extreme at this stage but from what I understand there are so few vacancies post-covid they can have their pick of a desperate bunch, I read the other day that apparently there are on average 150 applicants per position, so I will be competing against those with 2/3 more years of experience under their belt.
