Careertaster.com is a journalistic online blog, providing tips, tools and interviews to help you develop your career. At the time of writing each post we hope it is all accurate but please note you use the information at your own risk and we can’t accept liability if you are unhappy with actions as a result of reading an article here.

You should not take any information or opinion on this site as legal, business, financial or commercial advice and you should carry out your own research before undertaking any actions to ensure it’s the best for you and your career.

Likewise, though we link to other sites, we cannot be held responsible for any content or harmful effects such as viruses on those sites. If we link to someone that we do not know as a reputable company, we will make that clear.

How the blog makes money

Some of the links used on the site are what’s known as “affiliate links”. By buying through those links I may receive a commission for the sale. This is the same model used by sites like Compare the market and Money Saving Expert. This has no effect on the price for you.

But any money I do make helps me carry on producing the articles and podcasts for you to enjoy!

Once a year we audit the subscriber list and ask anyone who hasn’t actively engaged with the email in that time (as long as they have been subscribed for more than six months) if they wish to carry on receiving the emails. If they do not reply they will be unsubscribed.
