Hello and welcome to this week's Squiggly Careers podcast. I am Helen. I am one of the hosts of the podcast and I'm here with Sarah. Hi everybody. I'm back from Holiday.

0:13.0

Yeah, Sarah is refreshed from a lovely, a lovely great with amazing weather. I realised as I said that as well. It was like we probably didn't even say that I was going on holiday because we do a weekly podcast that keeps going out even when we're on holiday. But I think I'm just so thrilled to have been on holiday and had a week of sunshine in Wales. Which, you know, that doesn't happen in March every year. And actually, I got sunburnt. So I'm sitting here slightly lobster-like, actually with some quite noisy

0:37.7

planes going overhead. So if you do hear some planes during the podcast, it's not because

0:42.2

I'm still on a holiday or at the airport, it's because I live on a flight path, quite a heathrow.

0:47.4

On the point of holidays, this is probably an admin thing that people on the podcast don't need

0:50.9

to hear, but just heads up, I am going away for two whole weeks in May Sarah, so we do need to get thinking about podcasts to see, you know, I'm less terrified

1:24.2

the Instagram community, what should we should do for two weeks when I'm off.

1:27.8

I was even thinking maybe we could ask for a volunteer to do like squiggly career tips for us.

1:33.2

Oh, like almost, you know, when you get a feature's editor.

1:36.6

Yeah, yeah.

1:37.0

Yeah, like a squiggly career's takeover for two weeks.

1:41.0

Maybe.

1:41.5

I don't know.

1:42.1

So, I mean, that sounds really appealing to me because that means that i

1:44.5

don't have to do it but i feel like i should do some of them because you know it's not very
