This is what I made this playbook for. This will always vary from hiring team to hiring team but for me I look for practical skills/experience & the desire to learn more. Enthusiasm is easily mastered for interviews but proving your skills is harder. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to demonstrate your capabilities, many of which I talk about in the playbook. I'm not saying it'll be easy, because for w/e reason this industry still hasn't figured out how to not gatekeep for one reason or another but I think you'll make it easier on yourself by focusing on practical, demonstrable skills and documenting them. Hopefully that helps!

Awesome! I really appreciate your help and will absolutely start going through this and what my resume looks like.

Also, right?! How is it that in an industry that has a deficit of security personnel in it already is so damn hard to break into?!
