There's a sad irony with my IT career and I just felt like sharing it. With IT professionals, there is a stigma that we're all a bunch of nerds who know IT theory like the back of our hands and can describe the entire process of, say, a network packet leaving Host A in Network A across the internet to Host B on Network B in excruciating detail. Some of us are indeed like this and these individuals typically do well during technical assessments/interviews for positions. I am not like this. I focused primarily on execution in the IT field because I wanted to be self-sufficient and have the practical skillset to tackle a wide variety of issues myself. I never focused on remembering most theory by heart because I know one quick Google search will provide me the answers I need to resolve whatever is at hand. As a result of this trajectory, I have a lot of trouble selling my abilities during interviews UNLESS they administer a practical assessment or ask "what-would-you-do" scenario based questions. I remember once an interviewer asked me to define Microsoft DFS (Distributed File System) and I didn't know what it was off the top of my head despite unknowingly having worked with DFS servers prior. Based on the tone and scoff of the interviewer upon my answer, I knew I wasn't moving on to the next round. I remember the position was for an experienced support person, not a network/infrastructure design architect either. Ever since this interview, I have grown a distaste for interviewers who ask "DEFINE THIS" or "EXPLAIN THIS CONCEPT IN DETAIL" questions during technical evaluations. Knowing the answer to these questions does not prove that I, or anyone, can put these theories into practice and get work done. Some of us are gifted and know the theories by heart and can execute in tandem but I'd argue these individuals are the minority. It is a bit frustrating because I know what I am capable of. With my experience and skill-set (along with a bit of being in the right place at the right time admittedly), I was promoted to Tier 3 Helpdesk within only 2 years of IT experience. I don't know many who go as in-depth as I do when troubleshooting and I've resolved a plethora of issues that were technically out of my scope. I'm proud of the work I've achieved and I know I will go far in this industry. With all of this being said, It is still exhausting doing interview after interview and hoping that the employer will administer a practical assessment rather than a pop-quiz. I suppose I just want to make people aware that experienced IT professionals like me exist. I understand administrating something practical for technical evaluations may cost more time/money but asking questions that can be Google'd in a minute does not provide much insight into someones technical capabilities and may cost you WAY more in the long-run.

I would love to have a discussion on my new blog about job descriptions. Read the blog and then let us know what your experiences have been. Has this happened to you? What's the experience like from both a hiring manager perspective and job candidate? What do you think? Let's get a constructive dialog going!
As I've mentioned recently, I have been looking for new opportunities. A friend had forwarded me a job description from a recruiter that was engaged by the hiring company. I was amazed at what I saw when I opened it and not amazed in a good way. It did lead me to write this new blog though. Take a peek and let me know what you think about it? Have you been affected by this? What has your experience been as either the hiring manager or the candidate? https://lnkd.in/gJ_cS4gg

Results-Driven Security Strategist | CISO | Building and leading multinational teams that deliver | Aspiring NED and Board Advisor
As we're moving to the next phases of our selection for a Senior CyberSecurity Architect, I would like to re-bump our post (in the first comment) and take the opportunity to add a couple of pieces of advice for potential job seekers, not specific for this job: - If you're not located in the countries where the position is available, but are willing to relocate, write it clearly on your CV or your cover letter. That will speed up. We do not turn down candidates for that, but we do reach out to confirm and it wastes time. - If you are not willing to relocate, and the posting mentions specific countries, you should probably not apply at all. - If the recruiting team reaches back to you for information or clarification, be a professional and reply; don't ghost them. Otherwise you risk getting blacklisted from the company, not only this particular position. - I personally do not believe that CVs and Cover letters need to completely match the job post, but at least make an effort to have the job title and your 'title' at a similar level - I read Cover letters, they don't persuade me often, but they do give me a negative feeling if I see a cover letter with a different company's name in it. - If the post states 'senior' or 'principal', and has some years of experience required, it doesn't help anybody if your CV has zero experience on the specific subject. Overall, I personally, and I'm sure others too, do have a wide perspective of our security needs. If I receive a CV that does not match the role in question, but is close and may match other roles we plan to open or have opened at the time in our security team, I will consider passing it around if the candidate agrees. At the same time, there is zero chance I will do so for a e.g. marketing expert or software developer CV. On the contrary, the feeling I get is that the candidate doesn't even know their subject well enough, to understand it is very different from the position they applied to. We're still receiving and welcoming applications, from skilled candidates, located in the countries where the position is open.

This is how you use Linkedin as a tool.
In 2024, don’t waste time with companies that aren’t going to hire you. What do I mean? Some companies don’t hire for your role. Start focusing on those that do. Here’s how: ____ 1. Type in your target role using a boolean string to capture at least 3-4 variations: Example: ("security engineer" OR "information security engineer" OR "network security engineer" OR "IT security engineer") 2. Filter by people. 3. Filter by your location (start with city and work your way out if necessary). 4. This produces a list of people who work in your target role and who live nearby (I'm doing this because a lot of jobs are hybrid/onsite. You're also more likely to get hired by a local company). 5. Spend 20-30 minutes scrolling through profiles while making note of company names. 6. Pick 10-20 companies to focus on. 7. Now type in your boolean string again: ("security engineer" OR "information security engineer" OR "network security engineer" OR "IT security engineer") 8. Filter by jobs. 9. Add the 10-20 company names you picked previously. 10. Set up a job alert for this search. See what I did there? I found companies that I know hire for my target role and that hire in my area. Then I set up a job alert so I don't miss an opportunity. Give it a try.

I Love this, This approach can be incredibly helpful in streamlining your job search and ensuring that you are investing your time and effort in companies that are more likely to hire you for your desired role. By using a boolean string to capture multiple variations of your target role, you can effectively filter and narrow down your search results. Additionally, filtering by people and location allows you to identify individuals who work in your desired role and live nearby, which can be beneficial for hybrid or onsite job opportunities. By spending time scrolling through profiles and noting down company names, you can create a focused list of 10-20 companies to prioritize in your job search. This helps you to further refine your search by typing in the boolean string again and filtering by jobs, including the company names you have selected. Setting up a job alert for this search ensures that you stay updated on relevant job opportunities and don't miss out on any potential opportunities. Overall, this method allows you to identify companies that actively hire for your target role and are located in your area. It saves you time by directing your efforts!
