I always get nervous when someone contacts me on Teams and asks "how I am doing" followed up with, "I hope you are well"
Chances are I am about to get bad news or more work.

Job seekers here are a few tips:
1. Keep the resume to 2 pages or less with 5 or less bullet points per job.
2. Be accurate with your skill set. There is no way for someone with 5 years of work experience to be an expert in every technology and framework ever built. You will be tested on this and the truth will come out in the interviews.
3. Tailor the resume to the job. If you are applying for a engineering position dont also highlight your GRC experience and skills.
4. Dont run your resume through an LLM without post modification. It will produce a format, sentence and word structure that is exactly like everyone else who has run their resume through a LLM.
5. Be a real person, not from North Korea. That is a must.

All of them listed the same four cybersecurity masters programs in the US.
They all listed reducing something by 25 - 35%
All resumes listed being an expert in every tool possible, every framework, all shared the same pattern of job history, Finance -> healthcare -> IT consulting, etc.
If they were linked to a LinkedIn profile, that profile was out of date or not complete.
All resumes were 3.5 pages long.
I thought about interviewing an applicant who was underqualified because their resume was one page but looked genuine.
The LLM then without prompting offered to provide me resource to spot North Korean fraudulent IT contractors.
In many ways AI has made job placement a terrible experience for both employers and job seekers.
Job seekers are often have to play the game against the gatekeeping algorithm before they have a chance to be seen by a real person.
For the first time, an employer I have run into a mess of AI generated resumes and LinkedIn profiles.
I opt to review all resume submissions personally as the position is specialized resulting in fewer overall applications.
This time around 98% of the resumes were generated by AI. I ran the resumes through our internal, private LLM, and the results were shocking.
Half had a very high to high similarity matrix with similar phrasing, template voice, near-parallel bullets and skills taxonomy, strong shared structure and phrasing.
A third were matched with a very high similarity.
Over half shared the same resume template or common AI prompt patterns.
Its that time of year where nature tries its best to make my life as miserable as possible with tree pollen.
Allergies suuuuuck.

This activity does not help the Incident Response industry.

UI is adding memory surcharge to select products at checkout. This is like the airlines adding a fuel tax at checkout, keeping the advertised price low. Like the airlines, I do not expect the fee to be revoked, just increased.
Its a way to adjust for inflation without on the face, adjusting for inflation.
1. This is a forward looking tax as it is on already existing products.
2. They are not modifying the list price, the tax is added at checkout. For large buildouts this could exponentially increase costs. Looks like the sales tax is based on the additional fees.

Stay classy Springfield, MA. I sympathize with the women trying to protect her friend and with her friends medical situation; but not sure she fully thought out her plan.
Maybe she though the was THE BEEKEEPER (2024 film)
How is your Monday?
I rebooted my laptop several times because I thought my docking station was not connecting, only to realize that I had turned off my monitors.
