But, it is easy to get lost because there are many paths out there.
When you have more than one path you are trying to follow, you can take costly mis-steps in the process. Worst of all, many of the paths out there are shared by those who really don’t know what is required to get a position within the cybersecurity industry.
Why don’t their plans and paths work?
Because they are NOT hiring managers. They don’t know what a hiring manager is looking for and they have never personally sat on that side of the table.
…and that is what makes Your Cyber Path different!
