Your Biggest Challenge:
RESUMES

Insert Video

From the job seekers' perspective, the first step in the hiring process is submitting your application and resume. From the hiring manager’s perspective, though, your resume is the first thing they use to filter you out from consideration. Understanding how to create the perfect resume is important, but so is having realistic expectations as to how your resume is reviewed, considered, and possibly eliminated from consideration.

INTERVIEWS

Insert Video

From the job seekers' perspective, the second step in the hiring process is coming in for an interview. If you are getting asked to come in for interviews, this means that your resume is doing its job properly and probably is not your area of concern. Instead, you now need to focus on how prepared you are for your interviews. Interviews come in multiple forms, including behavioral/fit interviews and technical interviews. If you are getting called in for interviews, but you aren’t getting job offers, the chances are that you are being filtered out based on either your soft skills (behavior/fit interviews) or hard skills (technical interviews).

NEGOTIATIONS

Insert Video

If you have made it this far, it means your resume is getting you interviews and you are passing those interviews. If you still haven’t landed a position, this means you are struggling with the negotiations stage of the hiring process. If your expectations are out of sync with reality, you will be eliminated from consideration. But, on the other hand, if you ask for too little, you could be leaving big money or benefits on the table. Negotiations are an art form, one that requires practice to succeed with.

Your Biggest Challenge:
CERTIFICATIONS

Insert Video

Certifications are a key item in the hiring process since they are used to quickly filter candidates into “consideration” or “rejection”. If you don’t have a few key certifications (such as CompTIA A /Network /Security and ITIL 4 Foundation), you can quickly find your resume in the rejection pile. Similarly, if you have too many certifications, a potential employer may dismiss you as “overqualified” or a “certification collector”. Therefore, it is important to identify a few key certifications needed for the role you are applying, and earn those to make it past the artificial intelligence hiring filters for a chance at an interview.

Your Biggest Challenge:
DEGREES

Insert Video

For most positions, a degree lands you into the consideration or the rejection pile automatically. But, degrees and education are still important factors in the hiring process. In most cases, degrees are used to determine your salary as part of the negotiation process more than to determine if you will get the position. In some cases, having a higher-level degree can hold you back from getting a position because you will become “too qualified” for an entry-level position, while at the same time no employer will hire you because you don’t have any experience to match your degree. It is important to hit the “sweet spot” when trying to get a position to gain experience before moving up to higher levels of education. That said, most employers prefer candidates who have at least a community college or Bachelor’s degree level of education for cybersecurity positions.
