Endorsement Question

Vazman

I passed the CISSP exam last week and going through the endorsement process now. I have read the instructions but want to clarify couple of things, just so that I don't do something wrong and delay the process.

I know I have to fill out the completed Applicant Endorsement Form and send it along with my resume to ISC2. I guess I am a bit confused about the endorsement's responsibilities. On the Applicant Endorsement Form it says "Endorser to send endorsement form to the address listed on page 3". What documents does the endorser have to send to ISC2? Do they need to send the same form as the Applicant Endorsement Form?

I will try to call ISC2 in the morning as well but was wondering if someone on this forum can help clarify. Thanks!

Congratulations on passing.

It has always been my understanding that the endorser submits all the paperwork including application, resume, etc. That's how I've always done it. Your endorser should hopefully be familiar with the process.

Two quick tips if your endorser has never performed an endorsement.

1) Include the endorsements notes on experience verification, ie phone call logs, discussion minutes. It is useful in case of an audit.
2) Your resume should be very specific, only include the relevant experience that your endorser will validate. Most importantly; list only the relevant info, especially the specific domain you are claiming; avoid the fluff in a resume you may add when job searching; a simple list is best.
