If there is such as skills gap for information security professionals then why are some professionals having trouble finding work? It takes more than technical, red team or blue team skills to get a job; many companies need to find the "right match" that fits in with their culture and can deliver true business value.
This presentation will provide tips on improving your job search techniques. It will present information from a business perspective on how to improve your "soft" skills so that you may more effectively communicate your qualifications to a hiring manager. It will also recommend what to do--and not do--to separate yourself from other candidates.
