How to get a job: Women in technology


Listen Later

The BBC wants more women to apply for engineering jobs but the advice given at a recent BBC Design & Engineering event could be useful to everyone.

In this podcast you’ll hear:

- what it’s like to work at the BBC

- tips on how to approach a job application
- thoughts about changing career direction and goals
- specific advice for women

The question-and-answer session was chaired by Rebecca Salsbury, interim director of platform in BBC Design & Engineering. The panel included:

- Frances McNamara executive product manager at iPlayer

- Sareh Heidari, a software engineer in BBC News Products & Systems
- Murray Fortescue, head of architecture and engineering for Audience Platform
- Dave Walters, head of product, systems and services for BBC TV, Radio & Archives

As Sareh Heidari said at the event, “almost pretty much whatever you’re interested in, there’s probably a role for you here at the BBC”.
