Entry-Level Cyber Career Strategist | Cyber Workforce Development and Education | Providing Entry-Level Cyber strategy to land the interview and the job.

Entry-level cyber applicants… Your resume may be a firehose of information that could be costing you an interview. You don’t need to include everything. In fact, cutting away the fat (everything extra) is ideal. I suspect this is why “overqualified” candidates can’t even get an interview. They’ve listed too much. Only tell them what they need to know to get the interview. How do you know what to include and what to leave out? Check the job description. They tell you exactly what they need to hear. Tell them too much and you might just miss an opportunity. You can wow them with all the EXTRA stuff in the interview. Might you need to cut back some on your resume? #CompetitiveAdvantage #CybersecurityStudents #EntryLevelCyberJobs #CyberCareerSupport #Cybersecurity #AspiringCyberProfessionals #EntryLevelCyberStrategies 👋 Hi. I'm Michelle. I help Cybersecurity Students get a Competitive Advantage. After working with hundreds of cyber students, I got tired of watching so many students getting left on the sidelines 😫 because they didn't know, or implement, what the others did. I'm here to let you in on the secret. 😶 If you want to be one of the people who get the job 👨💻 upon graduation, rather than sitting on the sidelines, then follow along. Listen. Learn. Implement. 🔔 You too will have the Competitive Advantage

Absolutely right. Read the application, reread it multiple times and understand what skills they need, what the job is. Check around (𝘖𝘚𝘐𝘕𝘛/𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴, 𝘖𝘚,..𝘦𝘵𝘤), Check LinkedIn if you find (ex)employees and check with them about culture,..etc. Only then write your CV and put in all the details that are answers to the above. Leave the rest for when you're hired and want to move up. Success. Thanks, Michelle for pointing this out

Hi Michelle, I was hoping if you could offer some advice. So, I decided to return to school since working in the social work sector was becoming too overwhelming for me. However, I still wanted to be able to assist others in various ways, which is why I chose to pursue a career in cybersecurity. I don't have the necessary work experience for cybersecurity because I've worked in the social work sector for nearly 7 years. I want to get an entry-level career in cybersecurity, but I'm not sure where to look. If you have any suggestions or can put me in the correct path, I would be grateful.
