Resumes & Interviews: Beyond the ATS

Many resume writers focus on making your document an effective “ATS” resume. The issue comes into play when they have never worked in cyber and do not know how hiring managers can spot unqualified claims or exaggerations.

Please ensure your resume is done by qualified professionals (even if it isn’t me).

I also frequently review resumes from people who want to work on the blue team yet they can’t answer blue team questions. This is precisely why I focus on interview prep from an actual practitioner, emphasizing a methodology for confidently answering those questions.

Are Certifications Hindering Your Job Search?

Your certifications might actually be hindering your job search.

Many of you have too many different certifications. Some candidates are collecting certs like Ash Ketchum collects Pokémon—but you do not have to get them all.

Possessing too many certifications can lead you down different career paths, and sometimes recruiters don’t know what job you’re truly trying to get.

For example, having a list that includes:

  • 5 Networking Certs
  • 7 Security Certs
  • 10 Server Certs
  • 3 IAM Certs

…is confusing.

If you are going to have that many certifications, do not have them all on the same resume.

You want your certifications to align directly with the roles you are aiming to land.
