Thank you

Excellent and don't forget about all of us when you are making billions as an attorney.

It can help, but Sec+ alone won't guarantee you a job.

@@nonithudga7794 it doesn’t sound like you need to collect another certification right now, unless your employer is asking you to do it. Once you’ve got 5 years of experience, I would recommend CISSP if it’s in your budget because that opens up more job opportunities.

@@CyberLifeTV definitely will go for it. Thanks for the suggestion. But right now I'm feeling my learning has been stopped. Not sure what to learn. This tools might change anytime again I need to learn from scratch to master them. So I want to improve my knowledge in IAM, rather than the IAM tools.

@@taylalewis8209 I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “law enforcement compliance.” If you’re talking about ensuring privacy while investigating a case, then yes that would be under the topic of privacy.

@@K-zq6tp thank you for the feedback

@@JoeFoglia-cg1wf I would start with Gerry’s course. I think it’s cheaper. You can also look at Christabel’s GRC UA-cam channel. You will see it linked at the bottom of my main channel page.

@@RS-nc5qx thank you

Yes, you wouldn’t go from working another non-cybersecurity job straight into threat intelligence. Most people start as a SOC Analyst, Cybersecurity Analyst, or Cybersecurity Engineer and then after a few years move into threat intel. You’ll be involved in threat intel in those roles, especially as you work your way up.

@@CyberLifeTV Thank you for your response. I thought SOC was more advanced. How can I learn more about SOC on your channel. Do you have a course?

@@RS-nc5qx I don’t have any courses right now. I would suggest checking out John Hammond or the Cyber Mentor UA-cam channels. They might have entry level SIEM videos for free. Security Blue Team is another place to look. I think their website still has some of their training for free.

If you have experience writing technical documentation (e.g., user guides, whitepapers, etc) then having "cybersecurity" on your resume shouldn't make any difference. Cybersecurity isn't one thing - it has a ton of areas. And AI has been around for decades. Generative AI is what everyone is excited about these days, but that's also been in use for at least a decade. Are you getting interviews and no job offers? If yes, that's an issue with your job interview skills and not your resume. If you're not getting any job interviews: These days, if you are applying through LinkedIn, Indeed, etc then the more likely issue is the company has over 1,000 people that applied for the same job. Google search specific areas of cybersecurity and look at the company websites to see if they have openings. Look for jobs that don't say technical writer, but where some of your skills could be applied. For example, this is a technical marketing job at Cloud Flare. You could learn the basics of the technical info they are looking for in the JD and show how you would write a single technical marketing document for them and submit that with your application. boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/5976278?gh_jid=5976278 Look at cybersecurity conference website sponsor lists (Black hat USA, RSA, individual vendor conferences like plunk and Pax8, AWS and other cloud provider conferences, etc). Look at the lower level sponsor companies and look at their websites for jobs. If they don't have anything listed as open, see if you can find contact info. Create one sample document for their company and send it to them with a message about how you'd like to help out. That might lead to W2 but also might lead to 1099 work. It's important to think outside of the box. Everyone and their mother is searching for "technical writer jobs" on social media and Google search, so you need to figure out how you can either apply your skills to a different role or find the places they are not searching.

Excellent

Search for open jobs, even if they are asking for experience. That will help you identify what specific skills/tools employers in your geographic area are looking for. Then, if you don't have those skills you can find free training for them. You don't need certifications or college degrees. Focus on free stuff first and get the job first, then let companies pay for everything else for you.

My pleasure

If you mean courses that teach you technical writing, then Udemy probably has the lowest price options followed by classes through your local community college (if you’re in the US).

Check your local Community College. If that is not your style, udemy will work as well.

Truth. Most of the “open” jobs you see on job boards and social media are what we call “phantom” or “ghost” jobs. That means the company has created a job requisition but there is no actual funding for the job. Companies do it for many reasons, but a main one is pretending to have growth so they can impress investors.

@CyberLifeTV This needs to be illegal.

Yes. It depends on the company you work for. Many people start as a technical writer just to get a cybersecurity company on their resume and to network within the company to get different jobs. I’ve known people in the past that started as technical writers and then the company created analyst and engineer roles for them. The same can happen with GRC roles. If you currently work in technical writing, then I suggest finding open roles at cybersecurity companies. After you get hired and show them you are a high performing team member, it becomes much easier to transition into the job you want.

I literally just found her in 3 seconds in Google search with “Christabel Thomas GRC LinkedIn” . I’m not sure what you’re searching for because if you are already logged into LinkedIn it should be easy to find her profile. Try searching on LinkedIn with the name and GRC to see if it pulls up for you. Her UA-cam channel is also linked on the main page of this channel if you want to follow her GRC content.

They’re going to train you on what they need you to do. If you already know some of their tech stack then you could train on that. I would probably just work on your AD and Azure AD skills and maybe explore some Sailpoint and Okta free content. It really depends on what they are using though. I don’t think they’ll have you touching AD much as an intern because of the risk but you never know. Good luck with your internship.

@@CyberLifeTV Thank you!!

Compensation always depends on the company, location, experience, etc. Overall, much of the cybersecurity jobs are paying about 20% less than they did a few years ago, but here in the U.S. you can usually negotiate for other stuff like tuition assistance or more days off. If you're just looking at cybersecurity careers for the money, then I would recommend just focusing on sales jobs. People with experience in sales that work at larger cybersecurity companies are often making $250k-$400k.

@CyberLifeTV thanks for your reply,I'm a network administrator in Europe and I m looking for to change my career in Europe,money are important but are not all..

@@mauricecioccato9818 it should be more money than as a net admin, but it depends on the company. I don’t know the market over there well. You could ping some local recruiters and get an idea of market rates from them.

I don't know any companies that hire entry level PM off the top of my head, but look at the company sponsor lists for the larger cybersecurity conferences (like Black Hat USA or RSA). And look specifically at the smaller startups. Some of them will have project management roles open and they are usually more willing to work with more entry level people. Something to keep in mind on project management is that ALL of us have project management skills from life. Focus on transferable skills for your resume and LinkedIn. You can probably find low cost project management training over on Udemy and Google might also have a certificate program for project management. I can't remember if that's one of the ones they offer.

Thank you

Not sure I fully understand your question, but here’s my suggestion for resume sections from top to bottom. 1) Contact information and maybe a link to your LinkedIn profile 2) summary section - 1-3 sentences about your background related to the job you are applying for 3) skills section (optional) - with 3-5 bulleted skills max so it’s easy to read 4) experience section 5) education/certs section 6) anything else (optional) - could be interesting projects you did related to the job you want, could be volunteer work, etc The only purpose of the resume is to get a job interview. It’s not used to tell your life story. Think of the resume like a sales page for a website. Your job is to make the resume interesting enough so that they “buy” you for an interview.

@@CyberLifeTV love this strucuture. thanks

@@CyberLifeTV if you there is a sample of grc positions or program management it would be highly apprecaited

@@qutaibabs1 just look for job postings on websites like LinkedIn or Indeed. That will help you see what skills employers are asking for.

I have a video where I review someone's resume. The format of a good resume is pretty standard. The only difference between job roles is focusing on specifics of what they ask for in the job description and how your background makes you the best fit for the job. Here's the link to the video I mentioned. ua-cam.com/video/J2e-tMWdXvI/v-deo.html

Do you mean just talking about vendors (like an MSSP) and talking about their value for organizations, so someone entry level would understand how the puzzle pieces fit together?

@@CyberLifeTV Yes exactly! Thanks!

@@JPLPizJPL ok sounds good

It depends on the company. If it’s a bigger company then they usually can offer offshore work. It also depends on SLAs. Some clients can’t allow non-US citizens to access certain things.

Thank you

Thank you and good luck on your journey.

Not sure exactly what you mean. Are you asking how to find projects you can show a potential employer? If yes, then just google search a cybersecurity audit case study or use chatgpt to give you an example scenario and then analyze it so you can talk about it in an interview. If instead you are asking where to find contract work then look at companies in your local area, especially small businesses, to see if they need some cybersecurity related help.

Thank you. Non “cybersecurity” jobs have remote work opportunities as well. Some examples are cloud architect, solutions architect, cloud engineer, and sysadmin.

Thank you

Yes, the top 1/3 of your resume should be thought of similar to a website page that is trying to sell you something. You want to capture attention and get them to "buy." In this case, the "buy" is them reading more of your resume and contacting you for an interview. Your summary section should only be 1 or 2 sentences. Most people have summaries that are way too long. I recommend having a "main" resume that has everything on it, then create a copy of that resume that you edit for each job application. For the skills section, there should be 3-5 skills listed that are relevant for the job you are applying to. That's why it's important to have a main resume, so you can just cut out what skills don't fit for the job you are applying and you don't have to rebuild your resume every time you apply for a job.

​ @CyberLifeTV Thank you for your response. I have one more question regarding my experience. I am trying to transition from development to cybersecurity. For sure, I don't have real experience in the cybersecurity area, but I am spending a lot of time on self-learning, practical tasks, etc. Can I put a "career break" (or something similar) as experience in my resume and list my accomplishments under it? I would be happy to read your suggestions for this situation.

@@SamirHajiyev yes. I would suggest listing any gaps in your experience as “Sabbatical” and then you can list what you learned during that time.

Appreciate your feedback

Thank you
