There are so many different paths that can lead us to careers in cybersecurity, and a myriad of ways to develop technical skills. But too often, the recruiting and hiring process for cybersecurity jobs still emphasizes traditional criteria, including a college degree and a set number of years of work experience. What do you do when your background doesnt fit the mold, but you know youre qualified for the position? How do you get past the gatekeepers to a hiring manager who will value the totality of your experience? How can your online presence (LinkedIn profiles, blog posts, etc.) bolster your candidacy if your resume doesnt tell the whole story? Our panel will explore ways to package and present your skills and expertise to advance your career.
