You must be current<br />
Your knowledge has to be up-to-speed with what’s going on right now and where the market is headed.<br />
Three-year-old information and skills won’t cut it in the ultra-high-speed cyber security arena. One-yearold<br />
information doesn’t amount to much either. It’s all about now and what you know and what value you<br />
can offer today and tomorrow.<br />
Next, focus on improving your written and verbal communications skills. Yes, technical knowledge<br />
remains important, but plenty of strong competitors have that.<br />
You will separate yourself from competitors if you show you can handle the technical aspects of the work<br />
and communicate well. This would mean, for instance, simply and clearly explaining to upper<br />
management why the cyber security projects you and your team are working on are important to the<br />
financial growth of the business.<br />
Be authentic<br />
Want to enchant employers? Be authentic. Employers can tell when someone is faking who they are or<br />
what they can do. Be candid with employers about what you can and cannot do, what your passions are,<br />
why you want to work specifically for them, why you believe cyber security is important, and show them<br />
you understand the cyber security problems they need solved.<br />
Obstacles from Employer’s Perspective<br />
Employers struggle to find and hire cyber security professionals. They often don’t understand well what<br />
cyber security is, why their company needs it, and how it can help their businesses grow or prevent<br />
losses. They have a general sense that they need to have better cyber security so they seek to hire<br />
people who do know about it.<br />
But these employers often cannot communicate who they want to hire because they don’t know what<br />
they want the cyber security person to do.<br />
Be more flexible with job requirements<br />
Another problem: Written job descriptions for cyber security jobs are too lofty, demanding, and stringent.<br />
If a candidate meets six of the eight requirements, for example, but the corporate policy stipulates that<br />
they need to meet all of them, the application won’t move any further in the process.<br />
Companies often miss on what could have been a great hire. Inflexible hiring practices blocked the<br />
process. This is a huge problem.<br />
