Hi, I’m from Business Analyst/Tester/program manager background. I’m inclined to enter information security field as an IT auditor and cleared my CISA exam, although I don’t have any experience conducting audits. No company is willing to hire without experience. How can I get some experience in audit field and land a job?

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic.
