초급 사이버보안 직업 구하기

이 게시물은 매우 어려운 시장에서 사이버 보안 직무를 찾고 있는 친구에게 보내는 답글입니다. 요즘 이는 흔한 문제임을 고려할 때, I decided to write a post rather than simply leaving a comment.

Various statistics from multiple sources suggest that there is a wide gap in cybersecurity roles, with millions of cybersecurity jobs waiting to be filled by new talent. Boot camps often use these numbers to promote their products. Although such a gap might exist, the talent shortage is usually most evident in specialized roles rather than among general candidates seeking entry level positions with limited experience.

Many applicants receive no response when applying for cybersecurity jobs even though there are supposedly millions of those opportunities available. Some may think they are not good enough or that something is inherently wrong with them for not receiving a callback. However, in many cases their applications are simply not reviewed.

If you are looking to enter cybersecurity, know that you are aiming at one of the more lucrative fields in technology and fierce competition typically awaits entry level positions at well-known companies. For example, if you apply to reputable Fortune 500 companies for an entry-level role, each job opening might attract anywhere from 50 to 200 applications or even more. At this level even if you are highly capable and fully qualified, you might not be noticed.

Here are some key points you should consider before applying for these roles:

1. Be mindful of the location of your job search. The region where you reside may not have the largest cybersecurity job market. In contrast, areas such as the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) have the highest number of job openings in cybersecurity. If there are not enough jobs available in your area, your chances of securing a position are reduced.

2. Visa sponsorship is limited. Most companies do not provide visa sponsorship. If you have a foreign sounding name (as I do) and require sponsorship, your opportunities may be even more limited. Conversely, if you do not need sponsorship, consider indicating your immigration status on your resume as clear as possible. I have been personally asked about my citizenship multiple times even though I clearly state that I am a U.S. citizen, implying that some candidates misrepresent their status only to later claim they need sponsorship. Be very clear about your immigration or citizenship status because obtaining sponsorship is not an easy task.

3. Watch out for fake job postings. Out of every 10 online job postings on platforms such as LinkedIn, around 4 may be fake, that is the jobs do not actually exist. You might apply for a posting for which you are fully qualified and receive no response, leaving you to wonder why you weren’t noticed when in fact the job was never real.

4. Many roles are not publicly advertised. For every 10 jobs posted online, there could be as many as 40 positions that are never publicly advertised. These opportunities are typically filled through networking or local channels. Look up local businesses in your area that hire for your role, reach out to them or check their websites. You might also consult lists like the Russell 2000 or Fortune 500 and leveraging AI tools may help you uncover positions that aren’t listed on LinkedIn.

5. Certifications matter but only if they are the right ones. I have a friend who usually pursues certifications first and then complains about their effectiveness. It is important to determine which certifications are valued by HR and pursue those rather than simply accumulating them only to lament that HR isn’t interested. Even the best qualifications won’t matter if employers are not seeking them. The certifications you hold or pursue might not be those most in demand. Refer to this link and choose your state, which shows job openings by required certification in each state. For example, in Missouri, all 30 SANS certifications combined account for roughly 500 openings, while the CISSP certification alone has over 1,200 openings, with Security+ following at around 1,100.

6. Beware of bias. There is a deep sense of distrust and bias against individuals from certain countries due to political tensions especially in sensitive industries. If you are originally from one of these countries, consider removing references to your foreign education or experience from your profile, although the final decision is yours. For example, if you are seeking an internship at a pharmaceutical company, �.

�:

1. �. �, �, �, �, �, � (�).

2. �. �. citizen or a permanent resident, �, �. �, 그리고 누가 당신의 이력서를 검토할지 모릅니다..

3. 자신이 지원할 자격이 있는 직위에 맞춰 이력서를 작성하세요.. 직무 설명을 주의 깊게 읽어, 이력서와 자기소개서에 나열된 모든 자격을 충족하거나 초과하는지 확인하세요.. 단순히 자격을 갖췄다고 해서 면접이나 직위를 보장받는 것은 아닙니다..

4. 해당 역할의 채용 공고 목록을 작성하세요.. 원하는 역할 목록을 작성하세요., 요구 사항을 기록하고 그에 맞게 이력서를 조정하세요.. 같은 역할에 대한 여러 회사의 공고를 검토함으로써, 업계에서 신입 지원자에게 기대하는 바를 더 잘 이해할 수 있습니다..

5. 인턴십이나 자원봉사 기회를 고려하세요.. 즉시 일자리를 찾기 어렵다면, 인턴십이나 자원봉사 기회를 고려하세요.. Cybersecurity can be challenging to break into. If you cannot secure an internship at a high-profile company, look for opportunities at local libraries or community organizations. Adding more experience to your profile might prove more advantageous than emphasizing your background alone.

6. Start in IT and then switch to cybersecurity. If transitioning directly into cybersecurity proves difficult, consider starting in IT and then shifting into cybersecurity later. It might be best not to mention this strategy to recruiters; instead, work on your transition while holding a related IT role. After a couple of years, you may have a much better opportunity to break into cybersecurity.

7. Aim at the top. Finally, pursue a certification that distinguishes you. For example, 학력도 있는 경우 CISSP 자격증을 목표로 하는 것을 고려해보세요. 부여됨, CISSP는 초급 자격증이 아니며 5년의 경력 없이는 완전한 CISSP 자격을 얻을 수 없습니다.! 하지만 어려운 시험에 합격하면 거의 즉시 어소시에이트 CISSP가 될 수 있습니다.. 채용 담당자가 CISSP를 가진 후보자를 해고하기는 어렵습니다. (또는 어소시에이트 CISSP) 인증. 귀하의 지원서가 궁극적으로 거부되더라도, 최소한 진지한 고려를 받게 될 것입니다. CISSP를 추구하려면 상당한 헌신이 필요합니다., 그러나 수백 개의 세심하게 맞춤화된 지원서와 자기 소개서를 보내고 수백 명의 다른 후보자와 경쟁할 준비가 되어 있다면, 노력할 가치가 있을 수 있습니다..
