I’ve applied to soooo many jobs & got a few interviews but a whole lot of “Unfortunately…..”/“moving forward with other candidates….” But I’m not letting that get to me. Definitely going to network more
Jerry practical information. Plan to buy your book. Goal-combing teletherapy, marketing/digital marketing, and IT. Your guest is right on about face to face networking Jerry. Plan to use TCM academy suggestions. Makes practical sense. Keep it up sir.
Thank you Gerald for this video. I’ve been trying to break into cybersecurity for a while and I’m very shy. I will definitely sign up for discord now and network. This is a great video.
@6:06 he recommends some exercises but I can't make out what he said. Something along the lines of "cash of the flag" or something. Can someone spell out it for me? Thank you
He said that you should build connections with practiotioners at the meetups even if you are not doing the Capture the flag exercises. Even if you are the most introverted.
@@wakahiu Yes understood. The part I couldn't make out was "capture the flag". I'm new to this space and just want to learn as much as I can. I have a long way before I can pursue a job.
Hah! Sales is one avenue but I hope you don’t feel that was the thesis of the video. For example, There is a lot of opportunity in the grc space for folks that don’t have IT bg. Lots of opportunities for people with blue skills that may not have college education, etc. Plz let me know if you thought this was sales focused or if your comment was being flippant. Sales was mentioned in one piece as an unexpected on ramp because of a talk I had w a sales guy the week before filming this. Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m serious about the content I put on here and want to make sure my intent is not confused.
@@SimplyCyber Im so sorry, this is the second time I communicated poorly. I was referencing your comment about how people shouldnt accept to work for free especially in mentor mentee relationships because thats exploiting labour. ruclips.net/video/nRIgMGi5mRg/видео.html . I emphatically agree and because I tend to be shy I comment in short memeish sentences. Promise Im trying to be a active member of this community. Im a recruitment consultant who is transitioning into Cyber (last 1.5 years) and I cannot agree with your approach teachings and information sharing. I applaud and reference you in meetings all the time advocating for Candidates. Im sorry if I caused offence, thats not the African way. Go Well - Hamba Kahle.
