Pitch in a Lift??

Whilst trying to fight my way through the tidal wave of year 7 to 13 school kids at my local train station this morning I thought I had picked up my free copy of 'Metro'. Unfortunately it was a discarded copy of City A.M. and I felt my heart sink.....

With the prospect of a delayed train journey I tentatively started to browse through the pages and came across the headline: How to get hired: 30 seconds in a lift with your future boss

It turns out that Saatchi & Saatchi X are holding open interviews today where they are inviting graduates to turn up to their offices with just their CV and a pitch. They will then wait for the chance to impress a group of senior executives in 30 seconds whilst travelling in a lift. If they're sucessful it could then lead to a bootcamp, a short summer placement and then a job for at least a year.....

Now that gives a new approach to first impressions count......hope no one suffers from claustrophobia
