In this episode, Jason and Kip are focused on how you can demonstrate true passion for cybersecurity. They discuss the six things that you must avoid as they are considered red flags by a hiring manager. These red flags must be avoided at all costs, otherwise they will instantly land you in a hiring manager’s “reject” pile.
- Don’t tell me about all the organizations you’ve hacked before
- Don’t tell me what you think I want to hear
- Stating you have experience or certifications that you don’t have
- Pretending to be someone you are not to try and fit in
- Don’t pretend you have never failed at something
- Don’t describe cybersecurity as an absolute must have at all cost function in a company
Make sure you avoid doing these six things during your next interview, because hiring managers are listening to see if you fall into any of these common traps.
