Ghosted after an interview? Or applied for something great and got absolutely nothing back? This episode is for anyone who’s tired of pretending silence doesn’t mess with their head. We talk about why ghosting lands so h

Job interview prep after redundancy is a weird little moment where you finally get the interview and your body reacts like you’ve been booked in for something far more dramatic than 'a chat about your experience.' In thi

Redundancy has a way of turning perfectly normal days into something… slightly loaded. Suddenly you’re measuring time differently, your inbox has the power to ruin an afternoon,and “being proactive” can become a full-tim

Ever had a perfectly normal plan to 'be proactive' in the job hunt and somehow ended up applying for roles at 11:47pm that you wouldn’t even want if they came with a free Nando’s? This episode is about over-applying — th
