Penetration Tester Review

Working in security for BT as a penetration tester. Daily responsibilities mostly deal with research and focusing on currently vulnerabilities which be used against the company.

I developed my skills as a programmer and have gone into specialize a mobile hacker. I've learnt how to managed databases, various areas of computer exploitation .

It has changed my life for the better, I've now been exposed to a world I never really knew existed and could of never imagine I would be working in the cyber security industry.

I very valued by BT, especially within my team. I'm always involved in different projects as well as taking part in conferences and giving talks to audiences.

My apprenticeship is very well organised when dealing with the 3 stages of my development. Going better operational work, university and my NVQ it has given so much to do to work making me develop a lot more.

I get a tremendous amount of support from my team as well as my apprenticeship coaches. Ranging from how to approach a new project to seeing what my wellbeing is on my day to day working life.

BT has given me many opportunities to be able to develop and allow me to work in the industry that has always fascinated me. I've gotten a lot of support from my team and they have also helped me to develop.

My salary meets my cost and has allowed me to finally work with a competitive wage as well as it'll lead to a prosperous career. I also get regular and fair pay increases.

I' have taken part in many company events ranging from conferences to career days for new employees. Locations have been very varied from London, Birmingham and Suffolk.

Yes

Because BT would give them the opportunity to train and develop new skills. It'll then allow them to start a career and build a reputation within a company.

For when they get to assessment centres the main tip would be to really stand out from the crowd and use your enthusiasm to get noticed. Also when in interviews use your experiences to you're advantage.
