Why is this bowl so cold? 😀
Hoping to get in touch with #Peraton recruiter! I have about 9 months left in Air Force where I work in cyber defense and vulnerability management, have a BA in cybersecurity, sitting for CISSP and have lots of certs. Would love to chat with someone about opportunities. Hold a clearance and could technically start in 7 months. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you.

Recruiters might skim over titles, so it’s on you to frame your narrative and get their attention. I’d lead with outcomes, things like “influenced $XM in budget decisions” to grab their attention early.
Depends on what specifically you are getting into. That being said, always try to find the gaps in your experience and background and work to fill those. Show that you are serious about going into finance and how anything that you handled before is a huge advantage in that.
No, why would that be seen as a red flag? I've seen Olympic athletes get jobs in finance and running a marathon has anything to do with writing Excel / VBA code?
