How do you control the player?

  • Click once inside the player screen to activate the controls.
  • Use the mouse or arrow keys and space bar to explore the interviews.
  • Use the scrollable menu beneath the video to jump to specific questions.
  • Press the keyboard character 'A' to go to jobs starting with the 'letter A' and so on.
  • Press the 'Return' key to see pictures of most of the interviewees when they were young.
  • Click on the ‘i’ button above the video on the right to find out more about each job.


    • Teachers can see the videos playing yet students can’t – what’s happening?
    Talk to your ICT support staff at your school/organisation and explain the problem. It may be necessary for them to add www.talkingjobs.net to a list of managed websites before students will be able to see the videos.

    What if I can’t see the whole player on my screen?
    If the controls are obscured and a scroll bar appears screen right, close the player, press F11 to hide the browser controls and then re-launch the player.

    What screen resolution has the player been designed for?
    The player has been designed for screen resolution of 1024 X 768.

    What if none of the above quite answers my question?
