I had difficulty at first getting into IT after I completed my degree. After many applications and a few interviews I managed to eventually get an internship as a Systems Analyst for 6 months. Since then I've had two different roles that were part Business Analyst, part App Support. I am really glad that I didn't have to do an entry level help desk role as I think that may have killed any sort of enthusiasm I had for the industry. 

I am about to start a new job at IRD as a Business Analyst after working in IT for ~2 years so I'm pretty excited to get into something that has great career aspects and is very fulfilling.
