Looking for an Advisor that can help me look for entry-level opportunities in Cybersecurity
Answers
I’d suggest that you network at the target company or industry. Use LinkedIn to find people already working there and reach out to them. Ask them the process they used to get hired and ask them to help you navigate the hiring process and if they are willing, ask them to submit you as a referral. These activities require much more time on your part but in my opinion would greatly increase your chances for success. Good luck!
Mr. Munroe,
Thank you very much! I have sent out a connection request via linkedin to you as well as I am very interested in the training and to get some certs. I only have classroom experience, no hands on which is making my job search very difficult because a lot of the companies want bachelor /associate degrees.
Hi Todd
There are a couple of organizations out there that helps vertans move into cyber security. Although most ask for a degree, the fast is that there are hundreds of thousands of opennings that no one can fill and a majority of the roles are for junior analysts. Take a look at
https://www.npower.org/ and https://www.icmcp.org/ - both have specific vertans focus.
What you need to get a cyber security job is hands-on experience to show you can get in and do the work. Look for all the free online training you can find and then talk to those folks.
My company is a cyber security training company and I am work with both of them and give them highly discounted training that leads to a security analyst level 1 cert. If you send me an email address or connect with my on LinkedIn, I will also send you all the training we offer through promotion - we have another one next week.
What is your cyber experience?
Best Regards
Will
