Hi I'm a Cybersecurity specialist Student in my last year of my diploma , can you please make vibes about how to make resume foe Cybersecurity specialist. Thank you.

[@j_white1305]

Well.. this video makes me feel like I'll never go anywhere. That guy was sharp.

[@Naa4mla]

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Eirkyr]

This guy is really good at talking and sounding like he's saying something without actual content. Very talented HR guy, basically.

[@manfrombritain6816]

definitely a salesman, constantly giving that phoney smile. measuring everything in terms of how much money you can generate for your overlord - a peak american, basically

[@renzonc]

I really like this interview with Stephen he's so direct to the point. I encountered all of these interview questions all the time!

[@Cyberspatial]

Those are the interviews that are the most fun to host. Decisiveness lol.

[@elatedmaniac]

Dig through the company mission and recent news/ project press releases to build a cover. Then, review your projects and how they can contribute to the company and highlight the value you bring. Review software (e.g. Wireshark, Splunk, ELK, w/e) by explaining your process as you investigate to be sure you can clearly communicate issues. Prepare for general, open-ended questions and explain simply. Loading responses with jargon is a typical (unsuccessful) tactic that will quickly get people calling bs on you.

[@Cyberspatial]

Thanks for sharing your insights. Digging for info on projects and technologies the actual team you're likely to be working with is also something worth doing.

[@MrSinaPRO]

The video was very eye-opening for someone who's junior and entering the industry. Felt very honest and direct, absolutely loved it!

[@Cyberspatial]

Great to hear, glad it helped!

[@confoocious]

Lots of great information in this. Really liked the emphasis on how cybersecurity is an extension of a company's ability to be successful and generate revenue. Thanks for sharing.

[@Cyberspatial]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you!

[@alexguillen2493]

What a great interview. Such quality content! I gathered this: Soft skills, Technical capabilities, Interpersonal Communication, All Around Due Diligence, Personal Projects, COACHABILITY, and Respect (in no particular order) are driving factors in an individuals success.

[@numericbin9983]

this channel is dropping GOLDDDDDDDDD. Thanks for the amazing work you do !

[@Gierboo]

Thanks for all the info!!!! Love the video

[@thirst-t2653]

Thank you team...I really learnt a lot via this discussion

[@Cyberspatial]

You're very welcome!

[@Utubeblessed247]

Aren't questions about DNS and home labs more fitted to those interested in Penetration testing and other deeply technical areas of Cybersecurity? What about those in policies and governance; ISSOs, Assessors, how does this apply to them?

[@lucidlyrich885]

words of affirmation, is so universal

[@rawkstar952]

i really like the guy's personality. actually not just the personality but everything about him

[@Cyberspatial]

Stephen is a sharp guy!

[@rawkstar952]

@@Cyberspatial I passed 3 interview sessions as an Identity and access management analyst and the company is waiting for me to finish my studies next month. it would be great if you can kind of cover what an IAM analyst do on a day-to-day basis. if I'm not asking too much of course

[@myway8950]

Do you tweak your summary section/profile in the resume according to the job as well?

[@ricksuarez5357]

Love this video also. I really tried to subscribe but realized I was already subscribed. Stephens awesome!

[@Cyberspatial]

😅 Double subscribe LOL

[@aayushgore4245]

Great video for cyber-resume tips + tricks!

[@faizanarif2610]

Is that apply only for advance certs like CISSP or to all CEH, OSCP level too? Questions like (How DNS works).

[@Cyberspatial]

They might ask you that regardless of what certs you have. Since certs don't prove true understanding.

[@yukeshrai]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Princess-Jellyfish]

Such an amazing interview and helpful tips, I have a job interview soon and that 10k SEC filing tip is amazing. I'll report back if I get it

[@gilgilbert5866]

Under the media's understanding of the word, Cybersecurity is two words. All the experts guidelines and spelling of Cybersecurity is one word, following the guidelines of NIST. NIST is the government agency who puts out the guidelines and best practices for Information Security or what is better known as Cybersecurity, within the industry

[@Cyberspatial]

Yeah just tailor the spelling to the audience. Google Trends shows two words to be dominant.

[@cross3fire]

That was awesome! 👍 Thanks for sharing.

[@ronycalixte5990]

This interview confirms why there is a hiring shortage in the USA. This guy needs to learn from Israel and understand why they are at the top when it comes to Cyber security. They train their talent up.

[@manfrombritain6816]

no no no. everybody needs to somehow have a ton of experience in 400 different aspects of security, plus software engineering, plus ops, oh and also you need to be a salesman as well as a leader and a team player. btw here's the same salary as a front end dev who works 9-5

[@cangrichris]

I’ve been feeling very confident preparing for interviews until the DNS explanation he gave. I’m not so sure about all of it I mean it was in depth but somewhat all over

[@juliosantana1646]

It was a bad response actually and yes, all over the place

[@bhargavyagnik3762]

Good Stuff really enjoyed it learnt something new.

why is this guy so happy and excited by this stuff? is he a robot or something? i want to go live in the woods smh

[@djshiva]

Tailor your resume to everything the job wants but don't do it too well or hiring managers will toss it. Great. Thanks for asking us to be mindreaders, but just not too good at it.

[@Cyberspatial]

Don't need to read minds. Just need to be pragmatic. Tailoring to fit, not pattern matching to clone. It's quite obvious if you do.

[@missgirl8210]

Did you edit out all the "Umm" and "Uhh"s, there are random scene cuts in the video that i cant stop focusing on, haha either way, awesome editing, great information, and lovely presentation. 😌

[@Cyberspatial]

Sure did! Next time they'll be smoother.

[@missgirl8210]

@@Cyberspatial maybe delete the audio only for those moments :)

[@smartsalmon1]

Seems like a good guy with a great background, but the DNS question he gave was cool but differs a lot from what other experts have said about interviews they've had for entry level positions.

[@RK-si4ln]

Good one.

[@Cyberspatial]

Thanks!

[@HouseJunk1e]

brilliant.

[@mbangroo]

Are you high in this video? 🤣

[@juliosantana1646]

I absolutely hated his DNS rambling answer. For too many reasons to list. He was ‘trying wayyy too hard’ on that one. Please, no one give an answer like that in an interview or be rejected for lack of conciseness and focus

[@spartanthakur5823]

I got to say this Video was required

[@Cyberspatial]

Indeed!

[@jobb2444]

It-s nice that the expert is being informative and giving pointers, really congrats. (But this is my own personal opinion): but man is he obnoxious?! Listening him talk about employment with such a grin and "Typing so fast their finger's bleed" I understand why some people want a communist revolution.

[@manfrombritain6816]

this was exactly my feeling. this guy acts like being a slave drone who busts their ass 80 hours a week and thinks of nothing but "how can i provide more value for my boss?" is some kind of treat like going out for a nice meal or something. newsflash americans: almost nobody thinks like this. that fake salesman smile every half-sentence is creepy as well

[@beachboardfan9544]

Decent content, but this guy reeks of HR.

[@usedcolouringbook8798]

Is that why he started talking about love language?

[@Cyberspatial]

Perhaps it's the side effect of spending lots of time over there.
