ISC2 Endorsement Question(s)

Hi all, sorry of this has been posted somewhere else...

I noticed that if you cannot find a person who can endorse you for an ISC2 exam, you can submit yourself to be endorsed by ISC2 directly. On the form they provide for this, I saw the following statement, "Please consider finding a qualified member to endorse you by using any of the following resources: (ISC)2 Member Directory, ISSA chapters, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter."

Does this mean that the person endorsing you doesn't have to work with you directly? I thought they had to be somebody in the organization you have worked with, or was this more of an "ideal" situation?

That is the ideal situation, however, if you send your CV to a CISSP, they can verify your experience with a couple of phone calls to your (previous) employer(s).

I've endorsed a number of people by personally interviewing them about their work history and experiences. If they can "talk sports" about InfoSec for hours on end then they've passed about 90% of my vetting.
