− | |I have been working in the field of Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) for 10 years and have really enjoyed it. I have worked for four different government departments in various capacities as an Analyst, Team Leader, Deputy Director and even a few months as a Director of ATIP. I have learned a lot about the profession and have worked with great people. I enjoy the manner in which the work is measured in that there is a beginning and an end and then move on to the next file. I enjoy training employees in the profession as well as those that are responsible for responding to ATIP requests and how the process works outside of the ATIP office. There is always very interesting information in processing ATIP requests so I have learned a lot about different departments and what type of information is held under the control of government institutions. | + | | I have been working in the field of Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) for 10 years and have really enjoyed it.
