4 Career Lessons from a Marine Scientist Consultant

About this episode

In this episode, Sam Purdon shares career lessons learned from working as a marine scientist consultant.

I work as a consultant, supporting organisations and companies working in the marine environment. The purpose is to ensure any development identifies and mitigates the environmental impact on marine life. I enjoy the work because I get to work with a variety of experts and projects. Anyway, I hope this episode gives you a flavour of my career lessons so far and helps you navigate yours. Please excuse the noise interference at the start, it disappears quickly.
