    Tom completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne (https://study.unimelb.edu.au/find/courses/undergraduate/bachelor-of-arts), majoring in Media and Communications, during which he interned at an independent creative agency.



    Our guest's diverse career began with his first full-time job as a Media Coordinator for Starcom (https://www.starcomww.com), and has included other roles working in-house as a Media Analyst at Helloworld Travel (https://www.helloworld.com.au), as an Account Manager at an independent creative agency AJF, then onto Asahi as a New Product Development Manager.

    The Young Professionals Podcast (TYPP), proudly brought to you by ADAPT Careers (https://adaptcareers.com.au) and co-hosted by Luke Marriott and Nicholas Sargeant (Sarge).



    Today we chat with Tom Somerville, Electrical Project Manager at BREC (http://www.brec.com.au).

    The high number moving parts that go into a job means Tom's day can often be reactive, requiring consistent communication between builders, architects and on-site workers.



    Tune in as we dive into this interesting role that combines a number of skill sets.

Great perspective on issues faced by young Australians. Also love the collaboration with a business who specialised in career counselling. Great job Luke and Sarge.

Practical and Insightful

Luke and Sarge do a fantastic job of breaking down the barriers between school, university and the workforce. They speak to a wide range of industry professionals who aren’t afraid sharing their experiences. There’s an episode for everyone!

Wish this was around when I was at University

Listening to Luke and Sarge discuss different career paths and opportunities has made me realize how little I knew coming out of high school and university. The conversational nature of the podcast offers a unique perspective into what different careers may hold for different people.

Despite being three years in the work force these interviews have also offered insights that I plan to implement in my own career pathway.

You’ve got a subscriber in me.
