Hi everyone! After I referenced their awesome Cyber Workforce report in a recent super popular piece, ISC2 recommended I share it here. I hope it can help companies overcome so many artificial barriers to move into and find jobs in cybersecurity and hire a more necessarily diverse group of security professionals. https://thenewstack.io/how-to-get-started-filling-3-4-million-cybersecurity-jobs/

Hello,
Cybersecurity job descriptions trend toward the generic, yet excessive, putting an impossible load on one person. Security job ads not only tend to ask for unrealistic levels of experience and credentials, but they also lack connection to the specific organization’s challenges and to candidates’ desire to find purpose in what they do.
Thanks,
I could not agree more. I'm busy looking for a job at the moment, and its ridiculous. For an entry level position it is required to have a Bachelors Degree, 6 years experience with enterprise grade systems, CISSP, and a whole bunch of hoops to jump through. It's kinda depressing to be honest. I feel sorry for folks with only a CC certification that think that they can apply for entry-level positions.
