We talk to Andrew Wright, Head of Employer Engagement, in the Careers & Employability team at King's College London. We're hearing a lot about recession and unemployment in the news everyday. This can be disheartening for anyone who is job hunting. We ask Andrew for his perspective on current labour markets which interest researchers from academia through to the creative industries. Andrew encourages us to look beyond the headlines and understand what's going on in different sectors in a more nuanced way.
