Hey all,

Recent grad here. Earned Bachelors in
cyber security may 2021, masters in info
mgmt and tech is expected may 2022

Looking to leave my genius bar role at
apple for a "big boy job". Specifically in the
cyber security field

I've applied to the B4 & had interviews with
PwC & D. PwC interviews went well,
waiting for the others. Still applying to
more roles as well. Do any of you know any
thats looking for new grads?

I'm in NYC

Any tips or advice would be great! Thanks

So I have a friend who actually works in cyber security and she works for a couple of small start-ups until she lands a bigger gig. Also, look into small local banks as well. That's where she got her first job. Hope all goes well <33

My best advice is to hire a copywriter to help you build your resume. Because what a lot of people don't realize if that your resume is basically a sales letter about yourself. Why they should give you the job above joe shmoe. So before you go off and apply your little heart away praying for someone to give you a chance, go on Upwork, look for an experienced copywriter in the tech industry, find how much they'll charge you for a resume, review it with friends in the tech space, then apply. You're not going to hit the bullseye by throwing a lot of darts. But if you work on your aim, you hit your target.

I’ve been interested in doing this. My one question is how does it work when you need to tailor your resume to a specific posting? Do they give you multiple versions or do you just modify the one they gave you every time?

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range.

Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
