Some useful reminders here from someone who checks applications as to why you might get rejected.

All advice that I drum into clients and students but worth hearing it from the person who can decide yes or no.

Yesterday BBC News called it 'Remembrance Day' in their main bulletin, when it was Armistice Day. There's no such thing as Remembrance Day.

Does it matter?

Most people won't notice that 'mistake' - but to me little things make a difference

A company's 'culture' can signal all sorts of things - but when hiring, it can often feel exclusive to a diverse audience.

Interesting to read this research - although it sounds firms are at last doing some very obvious things.

More research about AI impacting jobs.

It's a bit no S sherlock - but it does underline the mood across all sectors. For media, we have already seen direct impact of AI on roles

One in six employers believe the impact of AI will mean a reduction in headcount over the next year, according to the CIPD.
