In this episode, Jason and Kip are focused on how you can demonstrate true passion for cybersecurity. They discuss the six things that you must avoid as they are considered red flags by a hiring manager. These red flags must be avoided at all costs, otherwise they will instantly land you in a hiring manager\u2019s \u201creject\u201d pile.

\n\n
  1. Don\u2019t tell me about all the organizations you\u2019ve hacked before
  2. Don\u2019t tell me what you think I want to hear
  3. Stating you have experience or certifications that you don\u2019t have
  4. Pretending to be someone you are not to try and fit in
  5. Don\u2019t pretend you have never failed at something
  6. Don\u2019t describe cybersecurity as an absolute must have at all cost function in a company
\n\n

Make sure you avoid doing these six things during your next interview, because hiring managers are listening to see if you fall into any of these common traps.
