About
Your Jobs Digest publishes practical guidance for people looking for work, changing field, or trying to get further in the job they already have. We cover seven areas: skills, interviews, CVs and applications, industry entry routes, job-search mechanics, the hiring market itself, and the turning points — a layoff, a career break, a change of track, a first job, a last posting.
We write for a global readership, which means we are explicit about where advice is market-specific. CV conventions, notice periods, reference practices and pay transparency rules differ enormously between countries, and guidance that ignores that is guidance that gets people rejected.
How we decide what to publish
Every guide starts from a question readers actually send us, and has to clear one test before it is commissioned: could a reader do something differently on Monday because of it? Explainers that describe a problem without a route through it do not get written.
Who writes for us
Guides are written and reviewed by the Your Jobs Digest editorial team, drawing on people who do this work: recruiters, hiring managers, careers advisers and workforce researchers. We publish under the masthead rather than individual bylines, because every guide is edited and fact-checked collectively before it goes out.
Skills, CVs and applications
Written with talent operations specialists from technology and professional services.
Interviews and assessment
Reviewed by hiring leads who have run several hundred interview loops between them.
Labour market and industry
Built on published workforce data and posting analysis, checked against practitioner experience.
Career change and early career
Shaped by careers advisers working in higher education and retraining programmes.
How we work
Every guide is written by a person and reviewed before it goes out. We do not publish generated filler, and we do not publish a piece because a keyword needs covering. If a guide would not change what a reader does on Monday, it does not get commissioned.
We do not invent numbers. Where a guide describes pay, response rates or hiring patterns, it gives ranges or practitioner judgement and says which it is. You will not find a fabricated statistic with a confident citation attached to it, because we would rather say "commonly somewhere between 1% and 3%" and be honest about the uncertainty.
We say where advice is local. CV conventions, notice periods, redundancy terms and pay transparency rules differ between countries and often within them, and a guide that ignores that is a guide that gets someone rejected. Where something is market-specific, we say so in the guide rather than in a disclaimer at the bottom.
We correct in place. If we get something wrong, tell us through the contact form. We fix the guide itself and note the correction on it rather than quietly editing and moving on.
We publish under the masthead. Guides carry the editorial team as the author rather than invented bylines. Where a piece is reviewed by a named practitioner, that name appears on it.
What we are not
We are not a recruiter, we do not place candidates, and we do not sell CV-writing services.
