CyberPy — Sat, 05 Jan 2019 18:27:04 GMT

Hi,

1. I am confused about that what type of document should upload for proof of employment ? For employment proof ,Only Release letter or relase letter with joining letter shoud upload ? For proof of work experince do i need submit my experience certificate from supervisor or experience will verify through contact with supervisor ?

2. What should to do if my designation was not mentioned in release letter ?

3. Initially I have joined as a database administrator which is mentioned in joining letter but later , I worked as a security professional when leave from the job. In that case what should I mentioned as a designation of my employment ?

Thanks in advance.

I know this can be a bit tough. It almost seems as if the endorsement application is seeking the background for an audit if needed. What I've read is that generally, you get a letter from HR from the company stating you position dates etc. Others are much more experienced and can chime in.

@CyberPy Thank you for your inquiry.

Can you please confirm if you have an endorser or if you are requesting (ISC)² to act as your endorser? If you have an endorser who will endorse your application, you do not need to provide proof of employment. If you are requesting (ISC)² to act as your endorser, you will need to provide one of the following:

Letter from company on letterhead confirming position and dates of employment
Offer and Termination letter combination
Pay stubs - 3 per year worked at company (beginning, middle and end of each year)
W2's - 1 for each year worked at the company, plus one extra for the year following

Best Regards,

Hello @amandavanceISC2 , Thanks for your reply. I was waiting a reply from officials.

Yes, I have local endroser.

Hence my edroser will endrorse me, so that I don't need to upload any documents in the field of ''Upload Proof of Employment" ( although it's not a mendatory (*) field when i select and fill out my endorser's contact information) . Am i right ?

Another Query:

What email of my 1st employment supervisor have to give in endrosement form as she is not anymore in that organization at present.
She is already switched her job. Could I give her personal email address ( not organization domian email ) or have to give her present organizations domian email address with her contact phone number ?

Thanks in Advance.

@CyberPy1 To confirm, you do not have to submit proof of employment since you have an endorser. If your supervisor is no longer with the company, please list the email for the HR department.

That information was to take the exam. I have already passed and have over 6 years experience in my current position. I submitted an endorsement request to isc2 based on experience waiver. I uploaded a resume and scan of my employee badge. Will that suffice for experience waiver. Or do I need to have HR give me a signed document.

@whoWhatWhenWher I apologize for the misunderstanding. If you have an endorser, proof of employment is not required, so what you provided is fine. If you do not have an endorser and (ISC)² will act as your endorser, you will need to have proof of employment. Below is a list of what would be accepted.

Letter from company on letterhead confirming position and dates of employment
Offer and Termination letter combination
Pay stubs - 3 per year worked at company (beginning, middle and end of each year)
W2's - 1 for each year worked at the company, plus one extra for the year following

Thank you since i only provided my id as proof if for some reason that is
not accepted can/will i have to fill out another waiver form. Or will i
have to have someone endorse me.

amandavanceISC2 — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 16:51:47 GMT

@whoWhatWhenWher Since you are asking (ISC)² to act as your endorser and you only provided a scan of your ID, the application will be put in pending status and an email will be sent to ask for additional information. This will extend the turn around time for completing your endorsement. I would suggest to compile the proof of employment and send in an email to programs@isc2.org. When you send the email, please request that they attach your information to your application that is in the queue for review.

@amandavanceISC2 - how would one of the 4 documents below prove a candidate has 5 years experience? A W2 doesn't prove anything - I could be working for a company as a programmer, have W2's, but have zero required experience in two of the eight domains.

I guess I'm asking if (ISC)2 as an endorser is possibly more lax than if a CISSP is endorsing a candidate.

(The document list:
1 Letter from company on letterhead confirming position and dates of employment
2 Offer and Termination letter combination
3 Pay stubs - 3 per year worked at company (beginning, middle and end of each year)
4 W2's - 1 for each year worked at the company, plus one extra for the year following )

I have a similar issue. I have an endorser, but I was emailed about my experience proof, which I supplied but wasn't sufficient. In a situation where you work for a rather large organization, let's say government sized, and there is no H.R. representative that knows anything about what you do, but a generic printout of your duty title. How do you prove your experience?

I think the only unifying proof would be a W2, but even that doesn't explain specific duties. So where would one go for help?

I'm in the Army (military intelligence). If I don't have a sponsor does this method differ in any way? Do you know what other military members have provided?

I am an aspiring security engineer and have more than 5 years of Industry work experience with exposure and hands on to some of the security domains, even though have not played a hardcore security engineer role in my career yet.

So my question is : in my background, how can I get the endorsement as my role does not say that I played a defined Security engineer role ever. On the other side, if that's the hard requirement, then how people like my background, who are aspiring security engineers, will get a pathway for this Cert ? Any suggestions appreciated !
