Not all graduates doing work experience are complete morons after all.
In a top secret lab in northern Siberia, expert scientists have been busy scanning your heads and discovered that your skulls do indeed contain brains.
That’s right, apparently it’s big news that you good people – our nation’s most promising youngsters, fresh out of well-regarded academic institutions and clutching impressive qualifications – may indeed have some lively grey matter trapped inside your noggins, and be capable of making valuable contributions to the workplace that don’t involve you asking the question: ‘Milk and sugar?’
