CHAPTER 01 — THE PROBLEM
You’ve picked a degree. You’re doing the work. But when someone asks “So what job will you get?” you freeze because you’re not sure.
Unlisted paths
Most career paths aren’t listed on university websites.
Invisible systems
The fastest-growing industries are ones your lecturers don’t talk about.
Hidden in plain sight
Entire industries screaming out for people just like you.
THE PITCH
CHAPTER 02 — WHO THIS IS FOR

THE HIDDEN INDUSTRY
People in this industry in Australia alone
Of roles unfilled globally
To find your archetype
The people who discover these paths early have a massive advantage.
CHAPTER 03 — THE REAL INDUSTRY
The guards at shopping centres, the bag-screener at the airport, the government, police, and intelligence officers are only a small part of a much larger industry.
BEHIND THE SCENES, PEOPLE WORK ON QUESTIONS LIKE:
This is security and resilience in the built and digital world. The people doing this work are analysts, consultants, engineers, designers, planners, and strategists. Most didn’t start out thinking they’d work in “security”.

CHAPTER 07 — THE REAL PROMISE
You need direction.
Discover your direction →CHAPTER 08 — WHO BUILT THIS
Most online quizzes exist to grab your email and give you a generic result. This one is different.
It’s built by Core42, an Australian security and resilience advisory that works on major rail, infrastructure, and city-shaping projects. We advise government agencies, asset owners, and design teams, and we’ve mapped what this industry actually needs.
THE QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON:
We built this because we talk to students and graduates all the time who are keen but confused. This assessment fixes that gap — and we’re giving it to you free because we want to support the next generation of security professionals.
CHAPTER 09 — QUESTIONS
Not at all. If you're in planning, design, IT, engineering, policy, criminology, sociology, emergency management, or related fields — you'll find it valuable.
Yes. Completely free. You'll get the full personalised report at no cost.
We use responses in aggregate to understand trends in emerging talent in the security industry, and prepare annual reporting for industry and potentially academic publications.
No tool can do that. What this will do is reduce the noise, highlight where you're naturally suited, and give you concrete next steps to explore further.
Your score is based on your answers. Each answer earns points, and your total is the sum across responses. Points are allocated to different categories used to determine your result.
Yes, you can retake it if you're not satisfied with your initial score. That said, it's designed to be taken once to give you the closest outcome to you.
No catch. We released this for free because we want more people to enter the security industry. The insights are tailored to what you can actually do with your interests and education.
