    “My name is Jared, my student number is s3960173 and I am a part of the team: Awesome breakfast club. am an aspiring IT (Information Technology) student of RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology). I am starting my journey again into the world of education after the 2 years of break from the schooling system to set myself up for the future ahead (as well as the hindrance of covid). I moved away from my hometown after graduating year 12 to re-evaluate myself and what I wanted to do for the future. Using the extra free time, I had I began to pick up hobbies and interests I was not able to do from my old home. I went out to buy my first skateboard being unsure if I was going to be interested and invested enough to learn. The first few days were like learning to walk again with my balance completely off for every new movement I tried. Although I still feel like a novice to the sport and have much to learn, it has become the most peaceful, calming, and fun activities that I am dedicated to mastering. Skateboarding allowed me to strengthen my physical abilities, clear my mind when needed, as well as understanding how to express myself internally and externally. Using my love for skateboard art and the board itself to express myself within the sport by using the skills I had learned and the art I use to convey my love for the sport and emotions.”

They are dedicated to defending military systems and networks, ensuring they remain secure and stable alongside finding rapid-fire solutions to defend against cyber threats. Furthermore, where a Cyber Security Analyst is part of the corporate field, the Cyber Analyst’s military role means they are working with other agencies, governments and international organisations, here they also operate at a tactical and strategic level conducting cyber activities to defend and assure the integrity of their systems (Cyber Analyst, 2022). The role can be entered without any experience or qualifications other than being 17 or over. The role can be entered unqualified or fully qualified. Preference will be given towards people who display skill, interest and experience relevant to ICT (Information and Communications Technology).

Currently I have no qualifications other than completed schooling that will allow me to go into the role fully qualified. I hope to have the basics of the training already completed before entering the role. This should improve my chances of getting the role over others. I plan at minimum to gain my basics degrees in IT and ICT and choose a direction to focus on in Cyber security. Otherwise, I may decide to study and improve on my skill before applying for the role.

    Assignment 3 feedback

    Throughout our project We have made many accomplishments. We achieved much more than I believed we could in our allocated time. Our workload seemed complicated and overwhelming, though we managed to allocate workload to our own strengths that would give us the advantage. To separate most of the work into individual pieces giving each member a prime role while assisting each other to improve and maximise the product. We managed to give feedback and assistance without much issue and improve upon each other's work.

    Most of our issues were resolved by asking each other for help and working together though there were hurdles. Notifications with using the team's app and our tendencies to check the apps were lacking and could have been Improved. Though we managed to work around that partially by using other apps to communicate when communication was urgently needed. Another issue we had was our knowledge and skill sets. For some of us, we were unable to assist in some of the areas of the project such as app development and website development, though this was partially worked around with our roles set to our key areas, given more time and persistence we could have been able to become competent at each role for an increased chance at success with our project.

    Something that surprised me about the assignment was the complexity that we managed to achieve. The amount of work in individual parts and combining them was more achievable than I perceived. It was not easy, but it was possible.

    If I were to work in this team preferably or any team a major point, I would be to make is to ensure each other are up to pace with each other. Spending time to help each other learn and improve so that they can help on the project later and be able to improve on their work for the future. Teaching each member about each of the tasks would help improve the ability to connect ideas and help each other.
