Hattie - Estate Agent

12/08/22 • 34 min

"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.

Charlie - Forensic Accountant / Loss Adjuster

"That's my job, I like it, get stuffed"

Welcome to What Do You Do with Charlie MacKeith, the careers podcast that’s... mostly professional. My first guest is Charlie, who has not one but two job titles - he's a Forensic Accountant and a Loss Adjuster.

We cover it all, from double entry to twiglets, Ben Affleck to boats. Charlie gives me the inside track on some accounting secrets in The Scoop, rates his jobs on The Jobometer, and we play Jargon Buster for the first time.

Rob - British Army Officer

"Are you allowed to do that? Are you allowed to drink that beer?"

Welcome back to another episode of WDYD and it's a belter. I welcome my friend Rob for a chat on life as an Officer in the British Army. There's insights from Sandhurst and life in the mess, a slice of history on Rob's regiment - the Gurkhas -and a bumper edition of Jargon Buster, in which I fail to deduce a single TLA (that's three letter acronym, to you and me) and we learn some Nepalese!

As always, there's a Scoop, and we wheel out the Jobometer to find out where being an army officer lands in my extremely official ranking of the world's best and worst jobs.
