Go for it! Even in 2020 there are still not enough of us. Empathy, communication skills and the ability to keep a number of plates spinning at once are all crucial skills in this job which is why women make excellent investigators.
I’d say anyone who wants to climb the ladder in this profession and become best in their profession also need to have strong gut instincts and observational skills, the ability to remain calm and controlled, think on your feet and of course determination.
There’s a number of ways to break into the professional investigation industry. A good first port of call, and how I personally started my career, is to find some accessible and effective training programmes where you can start to learn the basics and build your network of contacts.
