Prosple Profiles

You are an adviser, a counsellor, a cheerleader, a boundary-setter, and on any given day you can be both the best and worst person in the world (if your students had any say, that is!).

I am directly accessing parts of the network that impact the customer, results of the changes I make can be immediately seen and felt.

Don’t feel like you’re locked into your choices early on in your career – take it from someone who had a career change 10 years into his first career.

Build your soft skills with an emphasis on being able to communicate your ideas across. These are really valuable to have in any industry.

The graduate cohort is a wonderful source of social support, and my mentor, buddy, and supervisors have been great sources of insight, guidance, and perspective throughout the year.

As a clerk, you get exposure to great matters – massive commercial deals and important government work.

The easiest path may not always be the most exciting. If you’re fortunate enough to have free electives, make them count!

The best part of my job is that I get such a high level, detailed understanding of the processes within the organisation, despite not being in any managerial position. I then get a fairly open slate to start trying to help those processes along.
