Quick update: contract ended unexpectedly in June so I’ve been without a job all summer (shoutout to my wife) but I’ve been approached for so many opportunities. I even accepted an offer to work the DNC here in Chicago (temporary) now I’m about to interview for a perm role…

With an amazing company & the best salary/benefits I’ve had offered to me. I’m very grateful in advance & it’s reassuring that I made the right choice to transition into tech. The foundational experience that I am getting will for sure set me up for an ever growing cyber career!

Took a semester off but I’m back this semester and I’m excited!

Hope that didn’t sound insensitive. I know 1000s are suffering because of this nightmare. Prayers for them!

Every few months in reassured I made the right choice in deciding to transition into cybersecurity. Today is one of those days!

May be a long shot but, from experience, what are some common reasons HMAC signatures don’t match?

Seriously! I’m getting recruiters daily shoutout to my mentor for telling me to do this!
As soon as I changed my resume back to this OG template I started getting callbacks instantly lol

I come across so many free resources and trainings and tips that I apply regularly that I don’t feel nearly as bad taking a semester off. I’m still learning and making progress 🥳

Please get your resumes ready because government contracts are awarded heavy around September/late summer.

That said… I know I’ll get this next job. Cheers to higher salaries and being a step closer to emerging into a #Cybersecurity career 🥂😘

I updated my resume and LinkedIn and I haven’t had to apply for anything yet because the recruiters are coming to me. Things must look right on paper and I’m thankful for that.

My contract with USDA is suddenly ending this week. I hate that I am on the job search… again! But this is an opportunity to grow even more and seek better opportunities.

I also had an idea to share the free resources that I have come across from different Tech folks and programs, etc. 🧵

Ok I came here for an update lol I have landed 2 positions in IT. Both temporary but providing me the perfect opportunity to be marketable in my job search. I will become a SOC Analyst in 2 years or less 😌

Ok this is funny because I’m working for the federal government just not in cybersecurity (yet) and for certain not the post office.
