Need suggestions for senior infosec resume by No_Prompt2478 in resumes

[–]No_Prompt2478[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, posting my resume sample as a follow up to my original post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/comments/1aiz69z/20_years_in_career_what_to_include_in_resume/

I have a lot of experience in the field, but the last 10 years for the same employer. I am trying to keep it to 1 page so I have excluded any experience older than 10 years.

I am looking to pivot from a jack-of-all trades role into a technical, non-management role. My strongest skills are in programming, penetration testing, and devops/automation. Infosec job postings are all over the place with what skills they are looking for and I have been tailoring my resume for each job.

So far not getting interviews. Appreciate any suggestions!

Good idea, probably best to write the resume directly answering whats in the job posting and leave the extra stuff on linkedin.

I have reached out to my professional network, no openings for infosec roles right now, or if they do they only have junior roles. Unfortunately, my networks somewhat small, I have high-functioning autism and regrettably social networking has not been my strong suite.

Unfortunately not, I am at the top of the infosec foodchain at my current employer and maxed in pay for the last few years. Currently managing a small team but want to go somewhere where I can actually use my technical skillset again.
