#LinkedIn #JobSearch #CyberCoders #DataHarvesting Hey everyone! I wanted to bring something up that’s been really bugging me lately. Can we rally together and figure out if there's a way to mass report companies like Cyber Coders, Jobot, gpac, Talentify.io, and Insight Global on LinkedIn? 😤 Every time I check for job opportunities, these companies dominate the search results, and frankly, it's frustrating. Here's why I think this is such a big issue: Flooded Search Results: It feels impossible to find the actual job listings I’m interested in because these companies keep taking over all the slots. 😩 Data Harvesting Concerns: I've heard from others that they apply over and over but never hear back. It really makes you wonder if these companies are simply collecting our information instead of genuinely trying to fill roles. 🤔 No Option to Block: I’ve tried blocking them, but that's not even an option!

3 Phrases to Avoid in Your LinkedIn Headline: "Seeking new opportunities." "Available for work." "Aspiring..." Why? These terms don't provide recruiters or hiring managers with the specific keywords needed to find you. Consider these examples of impactful headlines: "PenTester | Red Team | eJPT | CEH | Top 1% on Try Hack Me | Strengthening security for businesses." "Business Analyst | Business Development | Supporting companies to boost revenue." "Security Analyst | CEH | CRISC | Safeguarding critical assets for organizations." Remember, LinkedIn functions like a search engine. To increase your visibility in search results. Use appropriate keywords in your profile. Use this framework for future reference: 2-3 desired role names 2-3 certification name Your value proposition Do you have a unique LinkedIn approach for job seeking? Ron Sharon

Is the job market rigged against you? The recent job numbers are not good. With layoffs soaring and job openings dwindling, many talented professionals are left wondering if their skills even matter anymore. In a time where employers seem pickier than ever, it’s time to take control of your career. I've talked to a lot of auditors recently. Many are frustrated. They have great skills and solid experience, but their applications keep getting lost in the shuffle. It's time to shake things up. Here are 4 tips to help you get noticed 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Update your LinkedIn profile and share insights about auditing trends. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱: Being a CPA is cool. But consider cyber security or block chain. 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: Connect with industry veterans for guidance and networking opportunities. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱: Read publications, social media content, etc. It’s all about making yourself unforgettable. ---------------------------------- Hi there, I'm Rob.

One Year Later: My Cybersecurity Job Search Journey Exactly a year ago today, I decided to pause work and focus on finishing my degree, thinking I’d smoothly transition into the cybersecurity field after graduating. Fast forward to now, and the reality has been a bit different. The job market has been tough—many of my peers are having a hard time finding positions, and I’ve seen layoffs all over the industry. The world of cybersecurity isn’t quite what I expected, but one thing’s for sure: I’m not giving up. Here’s how I’m staying motivated and pushing forward, even with all the challenges: 10+ Applications a Day: Yep, I’ve been applying like crazy! I track every single one in a spreadsheet—keeping tabs on rejections, updates, and feedback. No interviews yet, but hey, maybe that 100th application will be the winner! Spotting Trends: I’ve noticed certain skills and tools keep popping up in job descriptions, like Wireshark and Nessus. While I don’t have field experience with these, I’m teaching myself through videos and TryHackMe labs to build up the skills and confidence I need. Networking (Big Time!): I’ve been setting up at least 3 meetings a week with cybersecurity pros to hear their insights, learn from their journeys, and get feedback on how to level up. I’m always looking to connect with more people in the industry—every conversation helps. Staying Resilient: Despite the ups and downs, I’m still here, pushing forward and ready to put my new skills to work. I’m not just looking for a job, I’m actively building my future. If you’re also navigating a tough job search right now, remember—you’re not alone. Keep applying, keep learning, and keep connecting. We’ve got this! #CybersecurityJourney #KeepLearning #NetworkingWorks #JobSearchReality #NeverGiveUp #CyberCommunity

Since starting my recent job search, I’ve noticed an increase in the spam/ phishing e-mails I receive. ⚠ I use certain tips and tricks, to be as careful as possible, when subscribing to anything, so I start to think the timing is not coincidental… Then, I come across GhostJobs.io, a “community-driven platform … to identify, report, and sidestep suspicious or misleading job postings”. Unfortunately, it looks like the posting of fake jobs has become prolific. Whether it be to elevate a company’s status, increase traffic to their sites, or data mining for nefarious reasons, this is now an additional hurdle to navigate, for all those (exhausted) jobseekers out there. 🕵♀️ 🕵♂️ There needs to be tighter controls and transparency in the job market. Until then, we can continue to support, and learn from, our peers. Please share to drive this community’s initiative – there’s power in numbers. 👻 👻 👻 #ghostjobs #jobseekers #datamining #transparency #community

Hey LinkedIn! I've got a question for you. Gonna try to use this platform for what it was intended, vs. my usual sarcastic (if not amusing to me) commentary. I've got a really talented person on my team who will soon be available for new work opportunities. Don't worry, he's doing his due diligence to cast applications out to everything he believes is of interest / relevant based on his background. So I'm not asking for people to cascade his info into the abyss of professional social media only to be drowned out by the billions of other viable candidates also desperately looking for work in this abysmal job market with the false sense of hope that random posts will be picked up by some lone recruiter for perfect match scenario. Rather, I'm polling this channel to get your thoughts on what other possible job types he should be considering given his background and passion. And to be frank, this isn't the "well, if he would take a year's worth of training in X, he'd be an excellent candidate for these types of roles". Remember, the clock is ticking and he needs to line up a position in a matter of a few weeks, not months. His background: - stellar customer interaction (both "end customers" and business customers) - loss prevention in a retail setting, and providing local oversight in that same arena - data privacy analyst - privacy rights responses, privacy assessments, privacy platform config / usage, business partner interaction, etc. He enjoys the loss prevention and data privacy work but he's got more to offer than loss prevention in a local retail setting. And he's an excellent candidate for data privacy analyst, but if he can somehow combine a bit more of the investigatory / analytics / tooling angle of loss prevention and bring in the digital end of data privacy, it feels like that would be a play he'd really excel in. To that end, I was thinking some sort of entry level cyber ops role but was unsure if that was accurate / he was even qualified, and/or if there were other types of roles that would be good to have him be on the lookout for. Aaaaaaaaaaaand go! #jobhunt #lossprevention #privacy
