Hunting for a job has both a physical and emotional toll associated with it. One big part of that comes from the interviews themselves. While I can't say that I know what the future holds for each person, I do know that I want to do my part to help make the process a little easier. If you are interviewing for a pre-sales role, as a newcomer to the field or as a seasoned veteran, you should always go in prepared. And to that end, I pulled together a comprehensive guide on how to prepare for interviews (and all the different phases that come along with them). Grab the link to the guide in the comments below. #sales #presales #cybersecurity #hiring #careers

This morning I had a great careers session with Lisa Belmonte Diaz from CAPSLOCK focusing on my answer to the common interview question 'Tell me about yourself'. I don't have any interviews lined up, however, it doesn't hurt to be prepared. Takeaways from this session are: 🌟 Keep your response condensed. 🌟 Write bullet point prompts to create a more natural conversation. 🌟 Write your response to follow this pattern: what you have done and what skills you gained, how this led you to cybersecurity, why CapsLock, why this sector of cybersecurity and why this company and job role. 🌟 This is the most important part of an interview. It is usually the first impression and first impressions count. 🌟 This is an opportunity to sell yourself. Companies employ people on attitude and aptitude now, not just ability. Talking about yourself can make you start comparing yourself to others subconsciously. It should make you realise how well-suited you are to your goal rather than causing self-doubt. I know I compare myself to others or think about why I wasn't short-listed as I'm sure most of you have or do. I have found this quote useful lately because it's true as I'm sure Cristina Magro would agree. Having a positive mindset does help in all areas of your life including job hunting. #opentowork #positivemindset #interviewquestions #interviewprep #cybersecurity

3 tips to finding job openings that are not resume harvesters: 1. Use Your Network: Connect with professionals and engage in discussions about positions you are interested in. Personal referrals are often the most reliable sources for legitimate job openings. 2. Use Reputable Job Boards: Stick to well-known job search platforms like Indeed, and Glassdoor. These sites have verification processes to filter out fake listings. 3. Research the Company: Always investigate the company's website and check for an active careers page. Look for recent news articles or reviews on sites like Glassdoor to verify the company's legitimacy. Do you have any tips to share?
