Navigating the Infosec Job Search

Presented at ToorCon San Diego TwentyOne (2019), Nov. 8, 2019, 6 p.m. (10 minutes)

This is a discussion about closing the gap between the search for the right job in Infosec, and resolving the [perceived] shortage in available talent. We’ll discuss the challenges on both sides, for employers and candidates, touch on some points and truths that are constant, and identify some tactics for success. What is the problem in filling and finding infosec jobs and how can we resolve it? In this short lightning talk we'll cover: - Efficient searching/networking - Effective resume writing - Interview guides - Offer negotiation. Q&A ((Resume Reviews and Mock Interview Red Day in Patio Track))
