From legal firm Allens Arthur Robinson, to a business startup, Jeremy Levitt has disrupted the way people get things done with his highly successful online company.

The Sydney Law School alumnus started in 2007, a tendering website which allows you to describe any job and receive competitive quotes, free of charge.

鈥�It鈥檚 been 10 years since launching ServiceSeeking.com.au and we hope to continue to grow the business, including launching in overseas markets.

鈥淚t has been a very rewarding experience so far - if you have to work for money, there is no better way to do it than working for yourself,鈥� said Jeremy.

Career highlights thus far for Jeremy include: building a tech business from scratch; raising start-up capital in excess of $10m; growing the business to two million users; and generating $3.2b in job opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses.

鈥淭hey all count as massive highlights, although every day is special. I get to work with amazing, funny people and have a ball doing it,鈥� explained Jeremy.

After graduating in 2004, Jeremy attributes his Commerce/Law degree at The University of Sydney as beneficial to learning how to simultaneously juggle multiple projects and commitments.

鈥淟ife was so fast paced at university - just like life in a startup that is attempting to disrupt the status quo. The pace of change at which technology affects an increasing number of industries and businesses is only going to accelerate.

鈥淟earning new things, new technologies and evolving the business quickly are all characteristics of entrepreneurship that I honed as a university student, just at a different scale,鈥� said Jeremy.

He believes a law degree teaches you not only the meaning of hard work, but also how to navigate the pitfalls and traps in building a startup.

鈥�There is a lot of reading in law school and for that you need to develop a work ethic. If you are prepared to study long and hard hours as a law student, you鈥檒l do fine as an entrepreneur.聽

鈥淏eyond the preparation for hard work, it鈥檚 about knowing how to research legislation and then comply with it. Knowing how to write a decent letter, or just knowing how to 鈥榞et stuff done鈥�. And then everyday writing, critical thinking and communication skills - which I honed in class and during extra-curricular such as mooting.

鈥淥ne understated benefit of a Commerce/Law degree is the development of an understanding of how to work with others. These skills have been essential in management, raising finance, marketing, as well as human resources,鈥� said Jeremy.

While at university, Jeremy worked pro-bono at Redfern Legal Centre and was the Wine Society President for two years. He was also involved in various entrepreneurship 鈥榩rojects鈥�, although without much success.

鈥淭hese projects helped convince me that a career as an entrepreneur would be fun, as coming up with these ideas and launching were highlights of my student days.聽

鈥淓ssentially, the University of Sydney was instrumental in shaping me as the person I am today. The memories I created there are still so fresh. I had the time of my life and I鈥檒l never forget it,鈥� said Jeremy.
