"Talking Jobs is an amazing resource, quite unlike any other work related resource I have come across... It goes beyond the simple job description and qualifications needed and gives students the sort information they could get if they actually met the individuals and knew all the right questions to ask them... I am convinced that Talking Jobs will become an invaluable resource for PSHE, Careers Education and Diplomas."
