Hi all,
I have been a CISSP since I passed the exam in November of 2007. Have a BS in CIS, Master's in CISO Operations, & a Doctorate in CS/Cybersecurity.
Have led teams of up to 15 cyber engineers, and led solving complex cyber issues. Am at Scientist Level in the Risk Management framework.
Been looking now for 2.5 years; have applied for somewhere over 1600 openings. Interviewed probably 150 times. Still looking.
Since I have run out of personal funds and costs are only rising, applied at a Community College to teach . . turned down. Applied at the US Post Office . . turned down. Surprisingly tough to get hired there too.
Am now applying at automotive parts stores; because I have very good Mechanical Reasoning skills and fix my own cars, I have a halfway decent chance of making slightly over minimum wage while selling car parts . .
I am in the NE Denver Metro Area and will take work anywhere within the State of Colorado for a reasonable rate. Would be delighted to work remotely.
I ask you all, in complete honesty . . with the 'business of cyber' continually griping/screaming about Not Enough People . . Should I have to go work in car parts just to stop losing money?
(The old saying goes): What is Wrong with This Picture?
Private message me for more information and a resume.
Thank you all for reading,
Doctor Jan, CISSP, CCISO, DCS
