At first, this lack of training made doing my job uncomfortable, but as I became more confident in my role, I learned what an asset I could be in the security industry. By taking my training into my own hands, asking for help from seasoned employees, and getting my hands on some great online resources, I trained myself in everything I needed to know. As a result, continued education and exceptional training are factors that I specifically look for from my next employer."

By having this open conversation with my professors, they knew that I was not a disengaged student but, in fact, one that cares."
