After lurking for several months I have decided to actually register and also provide useful content when I can or at least some humor.

CISSP Study-Tech Skills Gap For An InfoSec Noob
Hello, My post is a two part question involving CISSP study material as well as a skills gap in those new to InfoSec that acquire the CISSP. I’ve read quite a few posts indicating the excess amount of ‘paper’ CISSP(s) with no ‘real world’ experience. I fully intend on becoming one of those individuals. I’m very interested… -
Re: Direct CISSP or CompTIA Security+ and then CISSP
I'd love to hear what about IT security is interesting you? That's a big part of this. What's making you fall in love with IT sec? You might want to consider focusing on more proven vendors to build your base out a little more. Cisco and Microsoft and Linux all the way. CCNA is a okay start, but really won't make you… -

Re: Question about expiry
I think that's great that you will take the word of a CSR and not do your own research. (Yes, that was sarcastic. :) ) However, to help a person that might actually read, the following below is why I came to my earlier conclusion.

Re: Help with choosing security role
That's a good approach for sure. I just think you might be able to find a position that can help you do both. It's hard to replace on the job training. For my two cents worth, I think if you are looking for a track of self learning, I'd recommend setting your sites on something like Sec+ and then CASP. Both of those have a… -

Re: Anyone had a bad interview?
I had a couple of bad phone interviews.... one example I got a call from a manager at a IT firm that was looking to hire a desktop support tech. He asked me the usual stuff ex: what did you do, what certs did you have, etc.... then he started asking about networking. I had no clue.... some questions I answered great,…
