I also picked up work experience at Channel Seven after their Director of News saw my work at UniSA s television industry night.

16 Bachelor of Communication and Media MBCD 14 A dream career Belinda Scott Graduate, Bachelor of Public Relations (now Bachelor of Communication and Media) Belinda had reached the height of her career and was looking for something more. She decided to return to study for a complete career change. I had previously been in the hospitality, travel and tourism industries and felt like it was time for a change, although I still wanted to stay in a peoplecentric role, Belinda said. Coupled with an interest in media, I felt it was a natural progression for me to pursue a career in public relations. Studying had been at the back of my mind for years, and the best thing about returning as a mature-age student is that I had developed confidence, real-world skills and leadership capabilities that translated well into my degree. I was so well equipped and connected that I secured a job even before graduating. The best preparation was the various internships attained through the uni, as well as the relationships I forged through the regular networking and professional development events.
