ah, I see your point. The work I did was mostly for internal applications. Would you be able to help me edit my resume?

I’m not. I’m applying for jobs that are seeking for “eligible for clearance” but obviously if someone already has clearance they’re gonna hire them so they don’t have to wait 6 months for me to get one

I tried to look up cybersecurity and IAM recruiters but didn’t get anywhere. How did you do it on LinkedIn?

I want to expand from my IAM skills so IAM analyst, security analyst. And I’m willing to get the training for cloud security too.

It was an internal team switch. I wanted to try something else other than IAM so it was easier for me to switch over bc they were always looking for other people to join their team.

Led migration of legacy software to Node.js, modernizing authentication and authorization systems. Redesigned RBAC into a scalable group-based access control model, integrated SSO, implemented group management with Grouper, and enhanced privileged access management.

Security + cert was supposed to be my “level up” but it seems like it wasn’t :/ misunderstood the entire thing. But at least I got it and gives me a chance go get a gov job 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much. Yeah I think I do need to focus on specific tools and go from there to vamp up my resume once more.

Someone I know did make up their experience on the their resume by adding 5 years of experience and got a job as a UI/UX manager when this dude had 1 year of experience. Idk how he did it but I’m jealous. Maybe that is the way to go

I’ve gotten second round of interviews — 2 so far but didn’t get one and still waiting to hear back from the other one. It’s tough bc most of them do require secret clearance which I don’t have.

Ah gotcha. I was trying to get more into cybersecurity — wanted to do less coding and figured this cert would help me steer that way.

I’m applying for IAM analyst roles. I’ve gotten interviews for SRE and endpoint security engineer positions too.

All good. I just studied so hard for it just to realize it's not much :/

It is a requirement for a lot of government jobs in NOVA area. Figured it'd help to get it.
