在这里, Kirsty describes her journey from when she first discovered her interest in computers and IT, to excelling in a 具有挑战性的 and interesting role, all whilst balancing a work life balance to care for her young family.
工作和生活的平衡
当我年轻的时候,我想做很多事情,很幸运地被鼓励去探索我的兴趣. My ideas on what I wanted to do with my life were constantly changing, but I always had a passion for computers, 科学, 在六年级的时候,我在十大网博靠谱平台大学天文学系的工作获得了科学奖, I’ve always played computer games for as long as I can remember, and I love puzzles and problem solving.
大学毕业后, I started an Electronics and Electrical Engineering course at the University of Manchester. It was during my studies that I discovered I was pregnant with my first child. 这让我和我的伴侣大吃一惊,我的生活很快就从考虑电路板变成了考虑组建家庭!
I was concerned that if I tried to excel at being a student and a new mother at the same time, I would likely burn myself out and probably judge myself to be doing terribly at both, so I decided to dedicate myself to family life.
平衡工作和家庭生活
在接下来的10年里,我很幸运能够让我们的家庭成长,并有了三个漂亮的孩子, with most of my energy given to being a full-time Mum. 随着时间的推移, as my kids began to grow up and join nursery groups and start primary school, I was able to start shifting more focus back onto my career. 一旦时机成熟, 我开始急切地申请职位,发现自己的年龄不适合当学徒,也缺乏直接进入技术岗位的培训.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t far into my search when the pandemic hit. 突然, I had all three of my children at home again, so any plans of job hunting were set aside once more. 在封锁, 我意识到我有一个自我教育的绝佳机会,于是找到了一个在线IT技术员培训课程, which allowed me to fit my studies around my family life, 一旦合格, I was able to return to job-hunting equipped with appropriate qualifications and knowledge.
发现完美的角色
我记得我读了Informed Solutions的实习基础设施工程师的招聘启事,立刻意识到这对我来说是一个合适的机会. 通过与团队的交谈和面试过程,我们可以清楚地看到Informed非常欣赏学习, 好奇心, 以及对你的手艺的奉献, 哪些与我自己的价值观有共鸣. 自2023年3月澳门十大正规赌博娱乐平台, 我一直得到一群人的支持和指导,他们真正关心我的职业和个人幸福.
重新融入工作生活
Once the euphoria of being offered the role and accepting had initially passed, I felt a little apprehensive at the thought of coming into a new, 具有挑战性的, and fast-paced environment after a break from the world of work. This apprehension quickly faded as I was quickly made to feel extremely welcome, 同时过渡到角色. 我的团队为我准备了一份精心设计的入职计划,帮助我站稳脚跟,我和一个朋友配对,帮助我融入公司.
当我进入这个职位时, I felt truly valued to be trusted with the responsibilities that come with such a 具有挑战性的, 动态, 也是商业的关键部分, and my confidence and knowledge have increased significantly with the help of my team.
Leading New Projects and Advancing My Career
我的第一个项目是将Informed的内部企业技术服务服务台转移到Jira服务管理上. 这是一项庞大而复杂的任务, 这需要快速学习一些我以前从未遇到过的平台的技术,但我很享受开发的挑战和机会. 我还参与了升级微软敏感分类器和惊呼云签名的计划, both of which I led and successfully rolled out to colleagues across the company.
提高我的技术水平, 我定期参加我们的学习和发展计划提供的培训和资源 InformedACADEMY™我经常被鼓励去寻求培训,为我不断增长的能力增加一些技能. So far, I have gained access to training in AWS Fundamentals, Microsoft Azure, and Intune. 我还被分配了一名职业教练,以确保我有一个清晰的发展道路和一个支持框架来帮助我实现我的目标.
在这, 我能够灵活地在团队中工作,以适应不可预测的育儿需求, meaning I don’t have to worry about not being able to look after my family.
期待
I am extremely motivated by my team having faith in my ability. Being at Informed has given me a huge boost of self-worth and pride in what I can accomplish.
我非常感谢公司为我的职业发展提供了机会,为我的培训提供了投资,并为我提供了一个温馨的环境,让我适应并茁壮成长. 我非常期待能够在一个为我做了很多的地方进一步提升我的技能和经验, and I look forward to continuing to pay back to others for the opportunity I have been given.
