What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith

"Gave them the job on the spot. Couldn't resist"

Welcome back to WDYD, the careers podcast that’s... mostly professional. It’s the biggest interview of your life... but it’s on Zoom, and you’re not wearing any trousers.

My guest today is Hattie, who's an Estate Agent in London. What's it really like on the other side of a viewing? What's the trick to selling property? And are Londoners spying on their estate agents?

Today's Scoop features the viewing from hell, we find out when pretending to be pregnant is useful, and we think on DINKs in Jargon Buster.

"If you can be a barrister, be a barrister..."

WDYD? is back with Jemima, a pupil barrister, who helps pull back the curtain on the fascinating world of criminal law. There's courtroom drama, cracking cases and wigs aplenty as Jemima paints a fascinating picture of a day in the life of a London barrister.

"Skegness is lovely, what are you talking about?"

Get ready for some shocking revelations about porridge this time on What Do You Do? as I speak to Ross, who's a Press Officer. But what's a Press Officer there for? What's it like dealing with journalists? And where do I find the lawyers? All those questions and more in a short, sharp dive into the world of comms on WDYD?

“Did you end giving her tips on her full English? How she can streamline her beans?”

Welcome back to another episode of WDYD?! It’s the long-awaited Jacob episode! Poor Jacob was my guinea pig for our first ever recording, but glitches meant it never saw the light of day. Luckily for me and you, Jacob kindly agreed to go once more into the lion’s den, to Scoop, face down the Jobometer and hurl some jargon my way in Jargon Buster.

Jacob did a splendid job of explaining just what his job as a Management Consultant really entails but be in no doubt, things got fractious. Jacob took issue with my line of questioning, accused me of fudging the numbers on the Jobometer, then had a small-scale existential crisis when he received his score. It’s unmissable content.

“I really shouldn’t be the one deciding what your job title is...”

Welcome back to another episode of What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith. Joining me today, staring wistfully through the Overton window, is Eliza, who has a fascinating job, but one that is very hard to summarise in brief. Luckily, we have plenty of time on WDYD to get into the weeds...

What’s involved in championing the creative industries in the UK from inside a think tank? As she explains, Eliza flies through The Scoop, ranks high on the Jobometer and we encounter a bizarre amount of bottled risotto.
