When I started my Bachelor of IT at UQ, I was very keen to get into the industry as soon as possible. I went to the Careers Fair in my first year to check out what was available to me.
The one experience with a company that really stuck with me was talking to the graduate talent team for the Suncorp Group. I was convinced this was the place I wanted to work and applied for their Summer Vacation program. It was the most enjoyable interview experience I have had! As you can probably guess, I made it into the program and was kept on to work part-time until the end of my degree.
I started as a Graduate Business Analyst with the Suncorp Group 6 months ago and I am loving it! I spend my time gathering requirements for my team and converting that into technical solutions. I coordinate this work with other teams and communicate the results to stakeholders.
My team empowers me to take on responsibility while supporting me through my development in my role. Suncorp has a huge graduate community and holds all kinds of educational and social events. I just got back from a camping trip with graduates across all fields.
One year ago I had no idea what a Business Analyst was. Now, Suncorp has set me up to grow and lead the way in my field.
Spruce up with your best interview attire and come down to the 2019 Careers Fair on Wednesday, 20 March from 10am – 2pm.
