What our previous graduates have to say about starting their careers at Third Horizon:

I began my career in Australia as a grad at Third Horizon. Starting a new job, in a new country, was daunting. Third Horizon has proved to be the right choice for three main reasons: people, work and career progression. I’ve met and worked with really talented and capable people from all three offices.

The access I’ve had to senior staff and directors stands out and willingness of people to mentor and support me. Most importantly, I’ve learnt ‘aussie’  slang! I’ve enhanced my skills, developed new capabilities and learnt where my interests and strengths lie through the projects I’ve worked on.

If you have the drive and motivation to take ownership of your work, face new challenges and deliver high quality results, Third Horizon recognises and rewards you with more responsibility and faster career progression.

Kicking off my career as a grad at Third Horizon was both exciting and intimidating. Exciting because I was kicking off my career with an eclectic bunch of highly motivated, intelligent and, most importantly, friendly individuals. Intimidating because I had no idea how I was going to catch up and reach the level of competency I had seen in the more experienced consultants. From day one,  I was challenged, given genuine responsibility for client work and held accountable for my outputs. There was always a host of different people to talk to when I needed help or guidance. As the months passed, without me realising, all the on the job training, formal lessons and personal feedback helped to turn me into a consultant just as competent as those I had seen before me.

While I had some corporate work experience prior to starting at Third Horizon, achieving a graduate position felt like I was in the starting blocks for my career. At Third Horizon you are guaranteed to be allocated work that you have not been exposed to before. Although this may be unsettling, embrace different challenges and know that these unfamiliar tasks are merely opportunities to learn – who knows when this knowledge may be leveraged throughout your career.
