What a fantastic innovation. Tom, well done. I am a careers educator in mid north SA, and your material, enthusiasm and approach is very impressive. I look forward to more videos and would like to suggest a panel on living and working in a rural setting. More than happy to have you guys come out and film at my school! I thought all the panellists were excellent, but in particular thought Melody, Rachel and Jessica were fabulous.

I think there could be a little improvement in the voice modulation with some of the panelists. If shown in a class room, it may be difficult to hear all panelists. Having said this, the concept is excellent, the content is very positive and invaluable. I agree with Trevor from SA, living and working in a rural setting would be great, go one step further and aim that at young city siders, who have little to no idea about careers in rural or non metro regions of Australia. Once again, always very happy to help with contacts and assistance through my networks. Fantastic to see a colleague Melody, who is also a RICA on your panel.
Thanks again alife, very well done, lover the website too.
