We're never quite sure what to do with the amazing graduate career videos we shoot which become rather abruptly historic! Last year Lehman's dissapeared after we filmed with them and this year Renault F1 has gone through quite an upheaval shortly after we filmed Pat Symonds. I hope there's not a trend here...

Given all of the content is still relevant (and probably more entertaining in retrospect), we've decided that the blog is the natural home for our cutting room floor. So here' a short exerpt from Pat Symonds the 'ex' technical lead of Renaul F1 who gave us some insights into graduate jobs in engineering and motorsport.

Ever wanted to know what happens behind the scenes of a graduate interview? Does it really matter what you wear? What about where you went to University? Is landing a graduate job as much of a lottery as it seems?

Take a look at the spoof video below - something tells me this may be depressingly accurate!!

Brilliant demonstration of how to ensure you don't get employed...

Get your interviewer's name wrong, wear the wrong clothes and bring-up money immediately. Done.

Here's a novel way to snare your perfect graduate job...brilliant reposte to the age old classic from employers "how have you used teamwork to achieve your goals"!!!

If only there were some recruitment campaigns like this. I bet if Exchange and Mart were on the hunt for sales graduates and ran an ad like the sketch below with a cleverly spun tagline, they could fill their positions with brilliant candidates in no time. Everyone loves a bit of self depreciation and mocking, especially our Gen Y friends who can sniff corporate BS from a mile off. And what a contrast it would make to all the seriousness in the recruitment market.
