Sophie
Linguist
I graduated with a degree in Russian so I wanted to make the most of my skills. At GCHQ, my skills go even further than I thought! There’s so much more to the role than traditional translation. You’re really involved with the technical and analytical side of things. It means I’ve got a lot of responsibility and add a lot of value to investigations. I also love the importance that’s placed on learning. We’re given dedicated days to keep up with cultural influences and developments in language. It means I understand sources in a wider context and can uncover more reliable intelligence.
