Please join us on Friday April 26, 2024 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking Your Cyber Security Career: an hour of critical thinking of how to level up your professional development.”

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

How do you break into cyber? And how do you answer this constantly asked question?

How do you get experience if you don’t have a job in the industry?

What is the best way to address job postings with ridiculous prerequisites?

What techniques have you used to advance your career? Were these planned out or do you recognize them in hindsight?

When should you look to leave a job that isn’t offering the advancement opportunities you want?

What is the role of mentorship in advancing your career? When should you seek out a mentor and when can you become one?

How do you start consciously building out a professional network?

How can you make the best out of a position with a bad boss?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES" or “Beat the Bad Idea”.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a really awesome CISO Series jacket. Also, if you register early by the Tuesday (5pm PT) of that week’s video chat, you will be entered into a raffle where one lucky register will win a jacket (Winners must be US residents. Repeat winners get a $25 Amazon gift card).

Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth). During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us.
