• Always be open to new opportunities, cultivate a “why not?” attitude.

• Cybersecurity and project management roles are in high demand.

• Never underestimate networking, even after finding a job, it’s vital to keep your network alive.

• Use LinkedIn!

• It may not be obvious, but soft skills are essential in the field of technology.

• Be sure to tailor your resume for each position you apply for.

• Be tenacious, if your first email doesn’t get a response, don’t be afraid to try again!

• Don’t get discouraged if you end up changing your job several times, these days, you’re not expected to stay at a company for 5+ years.
