trying to get in

Last Thursday and Friday we held the interviews for WK Side, our experimental internship/placement programme. This was great fun and we met a load of talented, interesting people. We’ll try to post something on here soon about the two days.

We’re just in the process of advising candidates who has and who hasn’t been accepted. On Monday morning we came in to find the stunt shown above. A couple of applicants, Fabien and Ida, stuck life-size pictures of themselves on the outside of one of our windows, looking as if they were pressed up against the glass, with a note in Ida’s hand that reads ‘Still trying to get in.’

Nice idea. It made us smile. We haven’t chosen these guys for WK Side but we may get them in for something else.
