44 h. ago As if graduating weren’t daunting enough, now students like me face a jobs market devastated by AI | Connor Myers

With big accountancy and finance firms turning to tech rather than graduates, even those with ‘useful’ degrees find their prospects diminishedConnor Myers is a student at the University of Exeter and an intern on the Guardian’s positive action schemeSeptember is the beginning of many young people’s lives, as cars speed along motorways transporting 18- and 19-year-olds to their new university accommodations. I remember my own journey down to Exeter in 2022, the first stage in what I hoped would be an experience to set me up for the rest of my life. Little did I know that this was the calm before the storm, before anyone had heard of ChatGPT, or imagined the chaos that generative AI was about to cause for new graduates.Fast forward to 2025, and some of the young people I began this journey with have realised that they’ve spent the last three years training for graduate jobs that don’t exist. Many firms are now slashing their number of new hires. Big accountancy firms have cut back on ...

The actor on working with Mike Leigh, death by disco ball and drinking on the jobHas your northern accent helped or hindered your career? Eluned51They do call a group of actors a “moan” of actors. We like to have a good moan. When people hear a regional accent, they immediately make assumptions about your class, financial status and education. People generally think if you’ve got a strong regional accent, you can’t do much else. Obviously there are amazing actors like Jodie Comer who smash that to pieces because people don’t realise she’s from Liverpool. But because I came out the traps with the northern accent it’s probably helped.Do you ever suffer from impostor syndrome and think: “Why are people so fascinated by me?” RealEdPhillipsI don’t ever think people are – I think they are generally quite bored by me! Of course I have impostor syndrome. When you don’t get a job, you can’t help but think: “Why didn’t I get that job? Why don’t they think I’m good enough?” So there’s a health...

Gluten intolerance and coeliac disease are more common than many people realise – in fact, according to Coeliac UK, around 1 in 100 people in the UK are affected*. But with only a third of those officially diagnosed, it’s easy for symptoms to be missed or misunderstood. While we’ve made great progress over the past 20 years in recognising allergies and sensitivities, there’s still some way to go – especially when it comes to the hidden sources.

1 week ago I was one of those men who couldn’t stop talking. Here’s how I learned to shut up and listen

After realising how much I interrupted other people, I decided I needed to make a drastic change. Here’s how starting to listen changed my relationships – and made me happierI like to talk as much as the next man – and men like to talk. A now-famous study by the University of California, Santa Barbara, noted that, in a series of recorded public conversations between men and women, 48 interruptions occurred, 46 of which came from men. The 2024 Women in the Workplace survey by McKinsey found that nearly 40% of women experienced being interrupted or spoken over “more than others” at work, against 20% of men.Men in public spaces, according to research, talk more than women, talk over women, and talk down to women, contributing to the rise of gender neologisms such as manologuing, bropropriating and mansplaining. So, aware that men tend to dominate and disrupt, aware that the world at large feels unbearably loud, aware that I, too, often add to that noise, I decided to learn to keep my m...
