No-nonsense Fiona is a Senior Careers Advisor. She’s not exactly what you might call a “people person” – in fact, she detests the general public and is sick of them constantly coming to her for careers advice. Not that she’s ever really been much use in that department; her idea of advising is fobbing people off with a pamphlet so she can get back to her scone.
