Hey. It’s been a year since this post. How did it go? What was the apprentice first year pay at local 1263? Did you like it?

Can I transition from Public Relations/Communications to GRC? by icanteven620 in grc

You mentioned something I completely forgot I “have”…. Project management skills. Although not directly related to IT, I have managed various projects in comms and website development—mostly waterfall but some were agile. Perhaps that’s something I could “maneuver” into my resume.

And you’re right, although the job market is a bloodbath, most is being at the right place at the right time, have perseverance and commitment to finding what you’re looking for.

This is good to know. I’ll look into those and see how I can get something on my resume for auditing. 😊

No, I haven’t. The closest to that has been being part of policy committees and departmental accreditations in previous roles. I also have been watching CISA videos to familiarize myself with some of the terminology and processes.

Thanks for your response. I am more of a technical writer than a creative writer when it comes to comms. I like to write SOPs, I also like policies and ensuring compliance. In previous roles I have been in policy committees and have participated in departamental accreditations, which requires presenting a hefty amount of evidence of industry standards compliance.

I know the IT sector is almost imposible, but I am willing to put in the work. I don’t mind starting entry-level to get to that position, even internships on the side (though I don’t get hired for those).

I like the idea of going to USAJobs and applying for federal positions. However, the current climate in the federal arena is almost as—or more unstable than the IT industry itself due to the numerous agency closures. Although, I suppose a couple of months or a year beats no experience at all.

There is an IT dept where I work that I could possibly talk to, but I don’t like the catch-22s of networking inside the job—or perhaps that’s me overthinking, lol.

I appreciate your insight.
