A lot of admin work - booking meetings, writing minutes, making presentation packs, liaising with eas to organise higher-ups attendance. a lot of work is given to you that others in the team would rather not do - the important thing is to have a good attitude regardless of how passionate you are about it as that attitude is what people will talk about when you roll off/apply for internal roles.

Monthly reporting. automating reports learnings and implementation

Working on projects, monitoring and filling out reports. changes a lot but i enjoy the change.

Interesting and challenging.

Information security consultant (was a graduate for 1 year, analyst for 18 months, now consultant). day to day, i perform certain types of security reviews, engage with various stakeholders, write documentation, automate processes and provide education and awareness.

As a grad i was given immediate responsibility for my work and submissions to credit. means i was really able to add value from the get go.

Changes with each team i am in. typically, i have had supporting roles, where i assist other experienced people and learn from them as i complete the tasks. the workload is not too stressful, however, if i have little to do i can always ask for more.

I find my work incredibly mentally rewarding. i am always excited to learn more and get better.
