Expected Results

I get nonstop job offers on my phone, via email and through direct messages. It actually gets annoying. But this is what you want … options.

I receive offers with a variety of salaries, locations, and types of positions with all kinds of benefits and even short-term contracts that pay high but have no benefits. I have so many options that I am evaluating each employer and it’s no big deal if I decide not to take that position or if they select someone else because I have so many other opportunities.

I have all these options because I know how to market a solid resume. I create searchable resumes for the jobs I am most qualified; then I post them on a lot of job sites. 

These days all the tools that we need are there; we just need to know how to implement them.

To be honest, 90 percent of the jobs are not for me. There are a few reasons for this. It might be that the job is not even in my profession or it is in my profession but I’m not qualified for the position or sometimes I just don’t want the position. I would say about 3 percent of the positions that are sent to me are something that would pay me well and I would be OK with the work.

I am OK with that 3 percent because the more I apply for, the better my chances of getting something I really want. And I could always settle for something in the 10 percent range. Those are usually the jobs with a long commute, or require me to move, or do some travel. Even the more uncomfortable options are a huge blessing. I am not worried during recessions, or if oil and gas prices are crazy.

No matter what, I am OK and my family is OK because I can find work or create work. That is the power of marketing yourself.

This book will walk you through how I have been able to get these kinds of results.

Obviously, everyone’s results will vary. We all have different levels of experience, skill sets and qualifications, but by the end of this process you will have a method of opening more doors than ever before.

In this book we will focus mostly on cybersecurity jobs—but the techniques can be used in just about any profession, not just cybersecurity and information technology. If you are in health care, banking, retail, sanitation or any job that requires a resume, these methods can help you because ultimately, they are about marketing yourself effectively using your resume.

Steps to Take Action!

In order to have success and expanded opportunities, we need to go through the process of creating and positioning a resume that employers want. This book will help you create that resume.

We will use these steps:

Get tools – There are basic things we need to have before we start.

ATS format – In this section we go into detail about the application tracking software and the resume format that is necessary.

Work experience – We will put the keywords together to show your cybersecurity experience and explore what is needed.

Degrees – What degrees are needed for cybersecurity?

Certification – Certain categories of cybersecurity prefer certain certifications.

Skills – The skills section is a great opportunity to put in keywords.

Career paths – Before we gather keywords, we need to know the direction you want to go with your career.

Find keywords – This is research into what will be needed on your resume to make it more attractive.

Create a profile – Before we market the resume, we need to create a profile.

Market the resume – Where do you post your resume? How do you market yourself?

Appendix A: entry-level certs – If you have little or no experience, you can check out these entry-level IT certifications to get an idea of where to start.

Tools You Will Need

There are some tools that will make this process much easier to do. In order to create our resume, we will start with software that can give us a blank page.

You can use a blank document on a word processor. Any of these will do:

Microsoft Word

Google Docs

Open Office

Apple Pages

Notepad

WordPad

Any of these will do. This document will not have any graphics, tables or fancy formatting.

The easiest thing to do is use one of my free templates at:

We will be building your resume in a simple .doc or .docx in an arrangement that is acceptable to application tracking systems.

Set up marketing

How we set up marketing for the resume will depend on the industry you are trying to get into and the country you live in. This book focuses on cybersecurity and IT roles but the technique can work in just about any profession.

Let’s start with countries. If you are in the United States or wanting to find a job in the USA, you will need accounts on the following sites:

LinkedIn

Dice.com

Monster.com

Ziprecruiter

CareerBuilder

Indeed.com

Glassdoor

AngelList

PostJobFree

Startupers

Jobxoom

Job Spider

ReliefWeb

Jobvertise

This list of job sites is ever changing so always do your own research. You just need the current list of top job sites in the country you want to work from.

Set up marketing for any country

No matter what country you are in or want to work from, you can market yourself there. There is no guarantee that you can get work there, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Each country has a different set of job sites that works better there so we need to find that top 10. To
