So I just posted a number of #entrylevel #infosecjobs. My point isn't that I don't think people can search these out themselves.

Instead, I'm trying to highlight how jobs where the candidate pool will likely be entry level folks but the job description is poorly worded such that many will self-exclude.

Be brave, fuck the requirements section. If it sounds like a job you think you can do:

1. Tailor your resume. Don't lie but definitely highlight the correct relevant experience, skills, and/or knowledge you have.

2. Think about it like an elevator pitch. You have mere moments and few words to tell them why they NEED to hire you.

3. If you need someone to kick your #ImposterSyndrome in the ass, let me know.

@alyssam_infosec couldn't agree more since this is basically how I landed my current position; couldn't offer all the skills they were asking for, but the ones I had I was able to really flex during the 1st interview as well as during the VM pentest demo on the final round of selection.

Just like you said, it's not about lying on the resume or anything like that, you just need to show that the skills you do have are just as valuable to them as the ones you think you're missing.
