    • Cybersecurity professionals, whether new to the field or not, need this book in their arsenal.
Format: Paperback
This book is phenomena! If you are looking to pivot into or are already in the Cybersecurity field, you need this in your arsenal. Period. I wholeheartedly believe that if you apply the information presented in preparation for your first, last, or next Cybersecurity interview, your odds of landing the role will increase exponentially! As a veteran in the Cybersecurity field with 18+ years under my belt, I was able to glean nuggets and tips for roles that I have interviewed for and will continue to interview for in the future. This book is not meant to be read cover to cover, as you would a normal book. It should be used as a guide, since it provides not only specific advice on 'how' to answer questions and the 'why' behind the questions being asked, but also, associated references to help you dig deeper on a topic, so that the responses during your interview are informed and accurate. The authors added a few additional gems on personal branding, yes, personal branding, which is exponentially important as you enter and navigate through the cybersecurity ecosystem; negotiation; stress management, and more. This book (or guide rather) is truly “A complete interview preparation guide for jumpstarting [and augmenting] your cybersecurity #career”! Hats off to the author(s) Tia (Yatia) Hopkins, Ken Underhill, MSCSIA, CCSK, ☁️ Christophe Foulon 🎯! ... show more

    • How to hack... the interview
Format: Paperback
I highly recommend this book. Spoiler alert: If you use the hack method described, know the interview questions likely for your chosen role, and practice the STAR method you’re off to a winning start. But what if you aren’t sure what a certain job is? Or how it differs from other roles? This book describes various cyber roles in a clear and concise manner. Getting a cybersecurity role isn’t always easy even for those already in the field. So, getting passed the interview is critical. This book takes a real-world approach that anyone can use no matter their level of experience. ... show more
