James Innes, founder of the CV centre, talks about essential skills for a CV
If you think teamwork or perfectionism are enough to get you hired in 2016 - you better think again. LinkedIn has just released its list of this year's most in-demand skills, and there isn't a CV cliche among them. The list - compiled from recruitment activity that's taken place on LinkedIn this year - ranks both technical and soft skills in order of how sought-after they are by employers. Georgie spoke to James Innes, founder of the CV centre, for more information.

Morning Money: How certain is a Clinton presidency?
The US Presidential election is just two weeks away and the most recent polls suggest a Hillary Clinton presidency may remain the most likely outcome. Many believe that the FBI reopening the investigation into Clinton's prior use of a private email server has irrevocably damaged her credibility to the point where a Clinton presidency would be seen as illegitimate. But it has also emerged that, in revealing the new investigation, the FBI Director James Comey may have broken the law - a US act which forbids officials from influencing an election. Share Radio's Robert Van Egghen reports.
