Overview
Taking responsibility with customers who are onboarding, look after vulnerability scans of the systems. Supporting the team members who have excess work and ensuring the team runs smoothly. Taking minutes and noting actions at meetings.
Skills
Yes, I have learnt and developed many skills. Mainly how to work in a corporates environment, then there have been technical skills that have been developed. Communication and presentation skills I have also worked on.
Responsibilities
I was given responsibility over a handful of projects, however I would have liked more responsibility and would feel like I deserved more responsibility
Support & Guidance
There was plenty of support provided. Ranging from mentoring sessions, check in with the IPs and support from the early careers team
