Guests this week
Jonathan Black, director of the Careers Service at the University of Oxford, and Guardian Careers blogger and graduate Rosie Percy join us to talk about job seekers' confidence, the rising quality of applications and competition for graduate jobs getting even tougher.
News review
Following the news that having a boring job can leave you just as vulnerable to 'burn-out' than one which leaves you rushed off your feet, we explore the implications for graduates in stop-gap jobs. We also discuss the new white paper which says universities should be named and shamed if degrees don't lead to jobs. Plus, our thoughts on one company's controversial "slave for a day" stunt.
