Hi all,
I'm going through the job seeking process right now due to my relocation to Australia. As such, I've just written an article to help all those out there looking for a job to get better prepared for an interview.

PS: Your contribution is very much appreciated!

Dear Dark Knight, thank you very much for spreading the word! In my case, I've sat for many technical certifications in the past (+5 ago), but for the past couple of years I've taken all the Managerial/Compliance as I mentioned in the article (since that's what my current career position asks for). What I see happening to me now is that my technical knowledge got very rusty, therefore I'm planning to sit for one or 2 more technical certifications just to refresh my knowledge.

As I said, I've spent the past couple of years performing high level security assessments (ISO, PCI-DSS, COBIT, etc), audits and was happy withthat. Until a couple of days ago when I had an interviewer asking me to "give example of protocols sitting on the transport level"... That was a SHAME. I obviously didn't have the answer at the top of my mind, even though I was a network/firewall administrator for such a long time in my career.

I got so upset that I decided to write an article about the topic... I'll let you know



 

Dear colleagues,
This is a question we frequently ask ourselves throughout our career, but the answer is not as simple as it seems.

I've written an article that might help you to build a strategy when pursuing certifications.

Hey hayabusa (nice nick). Thank you for the comment!
Yeah, I know what you mean. The sentence if taken out of context might sound bizarre!

But as I said there, EXPERIENCE is the word of the day, and newcomers usually struggle at this part.

I believe it's our duty to spread out our knowledge so the new kids on the block will be able to give continuity to our work.

Regards!

Adriano.
