EP 93: CyberWIDE Panel - LevelUp - InfoSec Certifications Soup
https://www.yourcyberpath.com/93/
\n\nIn this special episode, we are going to share with you a live webinar hosted by the North Texas Information Systems Security Association. They invited our own Jason Dion and Kip Boyle for the CyberWIDE Panel\u2019s InfoSec Certification Soup to discuss careers, hiring, resumes, and of course, certifications.
\n\nWe begin the episode with a brief discussion of how Jason and Kip got into the world of cybersecurity, moving over to some valuable information about how you should go about starting your cyber career and how to know which career is fit for you.
\n\nJason also shares an important tip, which is to always keep your resume short and only include your most important certifications relevant to the job posting. Hiring managers will usually spend 6 to 60 seconds looking at your resume, so keep it concise and to the point, 2 pages at most.
\n\nThen, Kip and Jason discuss their opinions on how important programming is for your cybersecurity career, mentioning that it might be very important for some roles while for other roles you might just need to know basic scripting.
\n\nIn the end, Jason and Kip go over some viewer questions and discussions, like how important soft skills are, how to show up for the interview, and how to get a mentor - highlighting that being coachable is the most important thing as your attitude will affect how beneficial mentorship is going to be for you.
