What would be the best source for finding jobs in IT security. Tips for job hunt would be helpful.

I am a ccna/network+/Security+/SSCP ( associate) with MS in IT Mgmt. I have 5 months of a internship experince much of security scans and docuemtation of risk with the systems.

Any suggestions to build on the skill sets.

Thanks you guys.

to that effect, I found that careerbuilder.com has been the best for IT jobs at least in my area more recently. it could be different for your area. For some reason im having more success on searches for IT and business management as well.

how should i go abt getting a entry level jobs. Most of them are asking for 2 yrs + exp and laods of skill sets including firewall and expert network knowledge. Given the fact I am still in college... 90% done with my courses.

I think we have had this discussion in another thread (and I think either mishra or liven brought it up), but HR people try 'to catch the biggest fish with the smallest amount of bait'. So basically you could qualify for the job, even though the requirements say otherwise. A lot of people have found it frustrating.

I am one of the many people on this board that have gotten a job where they did not meet all of the hiring HR's requirements. So ill say it again. All they can say is no or not reply at all.
