Help! I'm in my Twenties
22 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -Georgie is in her late 20s, having worked for eight years for three different companies. She recognises how difficult it is to know what jobs are out there and what that they actually entail.
So in this podcast, Georgie speaks with other young professionals to hear what they are doing and how they got to where they are. She hears career stories and experiences from those who have always known what they wanted to do, and those who don't, those in vocational careers, those taking on side ventures and those who are taking a new challenge.
