Are you struggling to break into the Cybersecurity field? Your resume may be to blame. Also the general mindset that Cybersecurity is an exclusive field that's gatekeep'd to hell and back . So, Katia Dean, Voice of Cyberpros @ Katia's Cylife , gave us a great webinar about how to make a Cyber-esume that catches the eye. It's 2020: People discriminate based on location. Do not put your home address anywhere. If your position is current, put your action verbs in the future. Spell out your acronyms! "CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)". A very interesting point was not needing to put the cities where you went to school at. Schooling doesn't quite matter, and everyone is realizing that (for better or worse). Title yourself for the position you want. There were a variety of resumes, from those making the jump from networking, to those shifting to another position, to the resumes of Doctors of Cybersecurity! Also, a big shout out to Amy Scit

If any employer is reading this and immediately hit 'X' because they think 'anxiety is weakness', good riddance.

A cross post from a post on LinkedIn, as the site has a habit of eating posts these days with the dreaded covid-19 hashtag. AMC Theatres Refuses to Play Universal Films in the Wake of 'Trolls World Tour' https://t.co/v4rGeqqLbD — THR Movies (@THRmovies) April 28, 2020 This is very interesting.

 A 5-year old house is not quite optimized for ideal wireless setup. Let's help them. *Not an accurate representation to maintain security. Issue: The Wi-Fi router from Verizon is in the back of the house. Around 70% of the house can receive the signal, but not the office in the very front.

You use LinkedIn because it's the biggest 'job networking' site on the internet. If you want a site that accepts multifaceted, interesting people, don't look there, look elsewhere: Twitter ! Twitter has... Great blocking and muting tools, from words to people. Lists to organize and sort. The ability to log into multiple Twitter accounts at once. Newsletter options, for us verbose people. You may be thinking "Twitter? But it's so..." casual? Genuine? That's what makes it great. For people like me who grew up in a wilder internet and find LI's culture stuffy (and racist , oop), Twitter ... can be just as racist, but at least you can call it out without repercussion. 

I am doing a Pluralsight course - Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks: WAN for Enterprise Networks - and it mentioned a little something called Dark Fibre. That's a new term for me, and maybe for you as well. Let's research it. Dark Fibre is a bit of unused optical fiber. One can make a private fiber network with this, as it sounds like the dedicated telephone lines that companies can buy to connect sites that are miles apart. It has great potential for capacity . There seem to be many unused fiber cables out there, buried underground, as telecom companies apparently bought too much.  They may not sit unused for long, however, as with increased internet demand these days, content creators are demanding it.
