I am very much interested in Information Security Career. I am a recent graduate and without having certifications and experience you are left jobless. Now I am CCNP and recently became an Associate of (ISC)2 toward CISSP. I want to know if there are truly jobs for junior Infosec guys like me. Although I havn't started working, I am looking for great opportunities for Infosec career/jobs. Responses will be very much appreciated. Thank you Very good blog Adriano.

I think the best way to get into IT security is not by academic credential but through an experience in another related domain (software, network, ...). People "from the job" will see you as having some "real world experience" when you will be doing security analysis and recommendations that impact them. Seasoned network engineers are unlikely to take a young "security professionnal" seriously, unless he shows top gun hacker skills. Very interesting post.

I actually have been trying to network and find other security professionals.. mostly to find hackers and crackers. I possess some skills in cracking and practice new skills daily. I do have one question that you may be able to answer. If starting an info security consulting firm, how does one portray themselves as a legitimate business and not someone trying to scam or create problems for a business? I've done several other startups before, and would like to with infosec, but I just don't know how to get past this road block. Thanks. Hello,

Chicken or egg or just a plane joke...it's frustrating & how can you break into consulting? Won't those companies still seek the same chicken vs. Egg prerequisites...I'm getting the feeling there us also an age & race perception factor coming into play on opportunity for "experience" to begin with....just my experiences the past 5 1/2 years moving around the IT skill...unlike it seems most people put here my education in IT is comprehensive & I'd like the same level of "experience" seems to be immpossible...has this happen to others? How'd you get around the road blocks...I'm not ok with just collecting my pay check anymore but I don't want to be at risk in not finishing this Masters either...because of taking too much risk...need advice finding the balance but still getting around the road blocks....thanks for the posts & the community website...it's pretty good Even having a bachelors in information sciences & technology…now doing a Masters with an Information Security & Forensics focus…trying to get a CISSP, CEH and or on the job experience is still ridiculous…the ISC & EC don’t want you to take the test without years of “experience” on the job & the damn job won’t let you in with that same “experience” and or already being eligible to get the certifications…I guess a degree has no fricken value these days?
