Guest this week: We're joined by Mark Turner, senior partner at GatenbySanderson — an executive search and selection consultancy. As Mark specialises in public sector roles, we talk about the areas likely to be affected by funding cuts and the roles and skills — such as efficiency and leadership — in increasing demand.
Q&A review: Switching to the charity sector — Alison White talks about transferable skills and offers tips to those who want to change career into the third sector.
The jobs top 10: The chart includes a senior editor role at the Formula 1 news and live coverage site, ESPNF1.com and a broadcast assistant vacancy at the British Museum.

Tip of the week: Julian Linley's tip this week is — don't be afraid to confront your boss. Our careers guru talks you through approaching your boss about a pay rise, disputes with colleagues and beyond.
Also in the podcast: Inspired by the new breed of young high-achievers making the news because of their choice to side-step university — and ultimately avoid joining the deluge of unemployed graduates — who go straight into the world of work or find an apprenticeship, we took to the streets of London to ask how important (or not) a degree can be in your professional life.
