Information Security Engineer Interview!

Sent my resume in yesterday and got an email to schedule a pre-interview (about 30 minutes in length) for next week. Position seems really awesome and with a financial firm. Wish me luck!

Is it pretty common for you to get replies so quickly?

the_Grinch

Not common at all. Only one other time and it was actually faster. I applied for a job and two hours later I got a call, even the HR recruiter was shocked. When I called her back she said "hang on...when did you apply for this?" I said "two hours ago" and she just laughed saying "talk about a quick turn around huh?"

But other then that I get the typical days or weeks of waiting.

Grinch - You hoping over the bay into DE, or is this all in South NJ? I'm probably 30/45 out from you.

The position is right outside of Philadelphia. The Jersey IT Market is definitely heating up a bit, but given my location I can easily go to Philadelphia, Delaware, or North Jersey without issue. Interview is on Wednesday at 3 PM. As always, thanks!

Good luck. What kind of role are you coming from?

the_Grinch

My formal title is Network Administrator, but I do vastly more. I deal in technical regulation, incident response, and cyber investigations. I work for a state agency and have assisted other law enforcement agencies in the state with their investigations. I also deal with regulatory compliance and technical security reviews that relate to regulations and/or guidelines. I also maintain a network consisting of over a dozen servers, switches, and firewalls. I'm responsible for the setup, maintenance, and security of each device on the network. Finally, I helped develop along with analyze and maintain an in-house SIEM. Oh and I've written a regulation or two haha

I am also thinking of applying to NJ jobs. Currently live in NYC and i am not getting much response. Need tons of experience.

Good luck Grinch, let us know how it goes...

I had to withdrawal from the process at this time. Some family issues have come up and might require my taking time off which would prove difficult at a new job. I let them know and they told me no problem to definitely apply again when the situation normalizes.

Mike-Mike

too bad, hope your situation works out. From your current job description it sounds like you would be well qualified

Sorry to hear that, from your background you probably were a really strong candidate.

Sorry to hear you pulled out of the application process, sounds like you had a strong chance of landing it too.
