The Cybersecurity career and job hunting guide.

HOW TO GET A JOB IN CYBERSECURITY

Author: Stefan Waldvogel
Editor: Daniel Cardin, Shana Wejuli

Goal of this website:

This website is meant to target people who want to “hack” their way into the Cybersecurity field of IT, but these techniques can also be applied to other careers as well so once you learn these principles, pay it forward and pass them on to others -> the website is open source!

I hope this website will help you in getting your first job in Cybersecurity, from beginning to end.

Use the menu to find interesting areas. The website offers over 200 pages about job hunting and covers all relevant topics, including how to get hands-on knowledge (free or affordable).

Things to know:

I am not a native English speaker; therefore, you will find grammar and spelling mistakes. If you want to help me and fix them, great! You can book a Zoom / Skype meeting with me and during that time, we talk about YOUR way to dive into Cybersecurity, too. Each session with you is an hour. I do not ask my friends to correct the web page on purpose. I want to give YOU a reason to collaborate with me. Additionally, I will mention your name as editor (if you want) so you can add volunteer work on your LinkedIn profile.
If you have questions you can use Discord to reach the community: https://discord.gg/uZNNNc8VMa (cyberhuntingguide-simplycyber)
Most data and suggestions apply to the US, because I have the most knowledge for this country.
