Careers Talk: Are you prepared for publishing?

Guest this week: Having spent 25 years working for publishing companies in a range of departments, Suzanne Collier knows the book world. The owner of bookcareers.com — a site offering careers advice for professionals working within the industry — joins us in the studio to talk about how the forthcoming Publishing Equalities Charter will make the sector more accessible and discuss the digital skills all publishing professionals need to get ahead

Q&A review: What can I do with a degree in psychology? — Alison White talks about career options for psychology graduates and the areas of the profession — such as positive psychology — which have growing numbers of opportunities

The jobs top 10: Our chart has a digital flavour this week and includes a head of social media at O2 and an online communities manager role for a well-known charity.

For more information — and, of course, more jobs — go to jobs.guardian.co.uk.

Tip of the week: Julian Linley's tip this week is — don't be afraid to say sorry. Inspired by Gordon Brown's "bigoted woman" gaffe, our careers guru shares his advice on bouncing back after a workplace blunder.

Also in the podcast: Our vox pop is also by a big story in this week's news. Following the Birmingham City Council pay case, which ruled in favour of female council workers who had been excluded from bonuses paid to men, we've been out and about on the streets of London to ask people what they think of their own salaries.

Q&As coming up:

May 5: What can I do with a degree in business studies?

May 6: New roles in journalism.

May 7: Entry-level networking.

Be part of the pod: Don't forget, we're looking for rants to appear in our new feature. To let of steam and be part of a future pod, visit the new section on the forum.

The Careers Talk theme music was created by Colin Miller.
