This week we're proud to present a Jobs Bored exclusive, as the Journalists' Charity join us to launch their new funding initiative! We learn about how Charles Dickens set them up, how they feel journalism has changed and how their new fund is designed to help young people carve out a career for themselves. 

JC representative Ellen will also undergo the JB CV reviewing gauntlet, but will she get anywhere near Michelle? And will two guests help Oli's chances at the alternative careers game?

George is getting down to brass tax this week, although it's mainly to see if he can afford some luxury socks! Bryony has news of how the government's kickstart scheme can help young journalists, and Oli's interviewed his first celebrity, just about managing to keep his cool...

Neve Gordon-Farleigh is our guest this week! She's here to drag us kicking and screaming into Gen Z by teaching us about the power of TikTok journalism, and why you don't need a degree to become a journalist. But how will her colour coordinated CV fare against our ATS? 

This week on Jobs Bored we're joined by an old friend of ours - Rhal Ssan, who's here to talk to us about working for BBC World and to share his tips on how to make your own luck and succeed in a newsroom. But will his CV be top of the running order?

In other news, George's civil service saga finally comes to an end, Bryony has her eye on the corridors of power and Oli is still desperate for an alternative careers win in 2021. With a friend of his on the show, is this his week?

This week on Jobs Bored we've been salivating over scoops - and not so much over pancakes, although George is very happy to take us through his family's decadent set up! We also look at some journalism job ad clichés, dog stories and unlimited drinks when you work for The Tab! Alex Milsom is the last of our Pride Month guests talking PR pivoting, and our hosts are desperate to appease him with alternative job suggestions. But will Bryony's six week streak finally be undone? 

This week on Jobs Bored, we're honoured to be joined by King Of The Sky News Gays (his words!) David Chipakupaku, to talk to us about inclusivity, imposter syndrome and pancakes. George is spending too much time with our ATS, Bryony's been Zooming with Jackie Weaver, and Oli will do anything to stop Bryony winning our job suggestions competition for a SIXTH consecutive time. Will he succeed?

This week on Jobs Bored, Bryony and George have been giving a presentation to younglings on how to start a podcast, and report back from the session. Meanwhile, Oli's barely got out of bed - but that hasn't stopped him working!

The very talented Michelle Theil is our guest this week to talk her new job at MyLondon, industry diversity and her CV! Will her bold choice of columns condemn her to the bottom of our leaderboard? 

This week on Jobs Bored we're joined by the fantastic Beth Kirkbride, founder of The Indiependent to talk about written journalism. But how will her avant garde CV fare when it faces our robot CV reviewer? 

In other news, we actually have some bona fide consumer advice as GB News launches and looks to hire 150+ journalists! George, Bryony and Oli examine a litany of canine and knitting-related jobs as well. 

As Jobs Bored ploughs into 2021 like a snowmobile manned by aspiring (and now officially qualified) journalists, we speak to special guest Robin Zhang to see if their CV can go straight to the top of our leaderboard! Plus, George has plans for world domination, Bryony's had an interview and Oli teaches us some TV industry jargon. Pubcaster after this anyone?

This week on the good ship Jobs Bored we're joined by Aaron Spencer to hear about the events that led to him creating Proudly, a website focused on sharing stories from the LGBTQ+ community. As well as his inspiring story, we naturally subject him to our blood-curdling robot CV reviewer. In other news: George has an interview, Bryony has noticed a positive trend during lockdown, and Oli's been feeling a little bit boxed in...

Jobs Bored is back for 2021! Oli's got plenty to tell us about starting his new job remotely - with a slight segue into Danish children's TV. Bryony's battling with no lockdown shifts and George is planning some trickery for his next application, while also reinventing the fire sprinkler. Tim Dodd is our latest guest to try and get to number 1 on our leaderboard, but a mysterious disembodied voice has other ideas....
