However, it is critical that there is continued investment in talent, as it is talent that will separate the winners and the losers in this harsh economic climate. - Paula Patritti
Hardly surprising given the economic climate and WPP's clients in the finance sector. - Holly Martins
Thank God I accepted my offer as soon as I was offered it, or I may not be starting my career on Monday! - Daniel Bryan Hopwood
I am an ad student and am seriously worried that I am going to be unemployed for a long, long time after I graduate. Not looking good. - Zivai Anesu
