Interview in a couple of weeks
I have been getting calls for jobs everywhere but the state I am in, even though my online resumes all say "will not relocate". Or I get calls for jobs that I am not qualified for like Citrix or Cisco which Citrix I have not done in about 7+ years and its a way different product now it seems. I removed my expired CCA and… -
Advice on Degrees and Certs
If you are going for a degree please make sure it is an IT program not a CS degree. Computer science is focused on lots of code to build software, OS, and develop web pages. If you want an IT degree most will never touch code to make software. IT is being out in the field hooking everything up and making sure it works. We… -
Re: GIAC Noob here
GCIH is the easiest to take on, its slightly above CEH with the exception of the missing incident handling and law part. The counter hack reloaded book is written by the course author Ed Skoudis and you should definitely pick it up if your challenging it. Incident Handling can be covered by picking up an incident handling… -
Re: Leadership and Anaylitical Experience without IT Experience
Great question, I have similar questions too. I am also a newbie to IT, but have worked for myself for many years as a private investigator, and as expected, have strong research and analytical skills. In my area (SoCal), the job postings I find for the analysts positions reflect employers are looking for people with a… -
Re: Might as well through my resume in the fire
I'm no resume expert, but from what I've heard and in my personal opinion, don't worry about it being two pages / one page / etc. Someone earlier mentioned it was a one-pager as a two-pager, but I don't see that as an issue. The issue would be is everything related to the job you are applying for - does the meat packaging… -
Re: Is this possible?
Look at the cert list and you'd realize it's not that hard for someone with a CCNA/CCNA Security-level of experience (which is what the job post is looking for): CEH - I'd rank this cert as easier than the CompTIAs based on my experience with both. "ISE Certified" - There isn't an ISE-specific certification. They're… -
Re: Do Microsoft Certs Suck?
One thing that I think has not been mentioned is that no certification is a waste or "sucks". Sure some may be more "elite" (I hate using that word for this) and will hold more weight versus others (i.e, MCSE > MCP, CCNP > CCNA, etc.) but in the end all the certification is intended to do is prove to your employer that you… -
Re: Help me cross a few of these off my list! I need some input on my chart of certs!
From Info Sec you could drop quite a few. CASP has fairly limited value, and possibly should be further down that chain. CEH, GPEN and eJPT - choose one. You could possibly drop ePPT and go straight to OSCP after eJPT. You could move python further up the list since it can be useful for pentesting, and certainly you would… -
Re: Mom here. My sons a Junior in HS and wants to be an ETHICAL HACKER??
@GabusDeux If you are serious about getting into pen testing and wanting to make this a full time gig, like others here have said, IT knowledge is self taught either through a home lab or certifications. College just gives you a well rounded education with some IT classes. In today's society though, a bachelors degree is a… -
Re: WGU on CNN
I was expecting a flame war on this thread. Surprisingly, there's not. I guess because Techies tend to be more "Liberal" :P Everyone that deals with technology can attest that Technology changes. While fundamentally, it stays the same, just different ways of delivering the applications. Windows, Unix, Cisco, Citrix, it…
