“Secured the best Data Analyst job!”

I had a passion for information technology so I pursued my masters in IT in Australia and graduated feeling confident about getting a job. However, I tried for many months to secure a job as a BA, Support Analyst and even Data Analyst, but I kept receiving rejection notices. That’s when a friend told me about the IT internships program in Australia and how the 12 weeks of experience can help overcome some experience issues that recruiters don’t like. So, I met with Career Success Australia and talked to them about my plans for my IT career. They advised that the best solution was to invest in an IT Internship program which would increase my confidence and skills and really show future employers that I had Australian IT experience. I joined quickly and was well supported with my new IT Resume and Interview training to pass IT Interviews to get the internship. I joined a smaller IT consulting and software firm on a data science project which gave me a chance to put my uni skills into practice. Even though I couldn’t land a job with my host company, it was OK as I had applied for many jobs leading up to the final weeks of my IT Internship. I had some great news by getting called for an interview with a tier 1 IT company! The internship in information technology was a great investment for me as it has played a big role in getting a full-time job in IT!
