in IT Jobs / Degrees
Got my results on vacation. Passed the CISA exam! Now I realize I have to job hunt and I'm about to throw up. Looks like I'll have to make a move to find any real opportunities, yet my wife just got a big promotion in her own career.

I've passed this exam, and it was tough but doable, and so now I'm wondering does anyone have any track/path ideas on how to get the necessary experience? I guess I'm starting from zero when looking for jobs. My degree and 2 years HIPAA training should provide most of the requirements.

Thanks in advance!

    Congrats ..

    You don't need to have IT Audit experience to be CISA Certified, if you are in doubt send an e-mail to ISACA explaining your experience and how it relates to the Job practice areas and see if they will approve it.

    I did that on Saturday, waiting for a response.

    I am in the same boat as you are, I have a good but dead end job, so I can stay here until I retire in 30 years, or take my chances and start looking for a career in a different job area.

    That's exactly my position. I find myself training myself on Security + simply because I'm bored and have maxed anything else I can learn. The IT knowledge I have they abuse the living **** out of and over use me whenever they can find time. They say it's a "perk" that I can learn server software, active directories, user management, etc. on my own.

    I've been here two years now working in healthcare and I have a degree in accounting, so that should knock off a bit of the requirements...
