Talk: The current IT/Cyber Landscape

Description: Navigating today’s tech hiring landscape can often feel like trying to crack an impossible puzzle. To help you break through, joining us now is someone who brings years of experience from the front lines of IT and cyber to show you how to aggressively differentiate yourself. He will break down the essential steps to landing that first role— or getting back into the field, from optimizing your resume to the true power of networking—while reminding us why stepping back to protect your mental well-being is critical for long-term success.

Bio: For 15 years, Jere has solved complex IT and cybersecurity challenges across the private and government sectors. From his roots in Desktop Support to his current role as a Senior ISSE III in the GRC space, he combines hands-on experience with a focus on NIST RMF and Zero Trust program management, backed by key credentials like Security+, CRISC, and Agile CSM.

To take care of his mental health amidst the non-stop changes of the cybersecurity world, Jere stays grounded by hitting the gym, attending heavy metal concerts, diving into retro gaming, and embarking on family theme park adventures. He brings this unique blend of professional experience and down-to-earth storytelling to every presentation, aiming to inform, and entertain.

We will meet on the 1st floor. The building locks after hours, if you happen to arrive late just send a message in discord #⁠general and someone will open the door.
