Guests this week: Last week, in the Comment is Free piece, why our jobs are getting worse, Guardian journalist Aditya Chakrabortty bemoaned the lack of thinking required for many roles in the modern workplace. So we invited David Winter — a careers consultant with C2, which is part of The Careers Group, University of London and lead author of the always fascinating Careers - in Theory blog — into the studio to debate the piece and offer advice on what to do if you hate your job.
News review: As the New Economic Foundation think tank calls for 21-hours to become the weekly norm, we debate the appeal and the practicalities of a shorter working week, plus Harriet profiles a new website which helps students chart their career plans. And, even though we were in awe of Steven Slater's (albeit legally dubious) resignation, causing a stir when you quit isn't really a good idea (especially if you want a reference!), so Allie has some tips on the best way to leave your job.
Dear Julian: Injecting some much needed style into Careers Talk, Julian Linley, creative director at Bauer, addresses a graduate fashion dilemma.
Jobs top 10: We were determined to find some rewarding roles you couldn't fail to enjoy, so this week's chart includes a brand marketing manager for Stop Gap and a programme leader on sustainable livelihoods with Trocaire.
