In this week's episode, I provides five actionable tips to increase your chances of landing a cybersecurity job based on my previous guests. I advise against blindly applying to jobs and highlight the disconnect in hiring practices. Instead, focus on networking, to build a supportive community. Continuous learning is emphasized as a key aspect of professional growth, with recommendations to utilize RUclips, online courses, and workshops. Finding a mentor is also highlighted as invaluable for career guidance and support.
