The BBC wants more women to apply for engineering jobs but the advice given at a recent BBC Design & Engineering event could be useful to everyone.



In this podcast you’ll hear:



- what it’s like to work at the BBC

- tips on how to approach a job application

- thoughts about changing career direction and goals

- specific advice for women



The question-and-answer session was chaired by Rebecca Salsbury, interim director of platform in BBC Design & Engineering. The panel included:



- Frances McNamara executive product manager at iPlayer

- Sareh Heidari, a software engineer in BBC News Products & Systems

- Murray Fortescue, head of architecture and engineering for Audience Platform

- Dave Walters, head of product, systems and services for BBC TV, Radio & Archives



As Sareh Heidari said at the event, “almost pretty much whatever you’re interested in, there’s probably a role for you here at the BBC”.
