Your Cyber Path: How to Get Your Dream Cybersecurity Job – Details, episodes & analysis

What's next after season 2?

About this Episode

In the grand wrap-up of season two of the podcast 'Your Cyber Path', hosts Kip Boyle and Jason Dion reflect on their four-year podcast journey. They also reveal that for the time being, there won't be a season three as originally planned.

Several factors have influenced this decision, the primary being their venture Akylade – a cybersecurity certification organization. They're also experiencing increased demand for their time and energy due to factors involving Akylade and other projects. However, they highlight the intention of potentially doing a third season in the future based on the feedback and demand received.

Kip Boyle will continue to mentor notes but change the frequency from weekly to monthly. Jason Dion urges listeners to check their cybersecurity course, 'Irresistible' on Udemy.

They greatly encourage listeners to stay in touch and seek guidance on cybersecurity careers through email which is available at yourcyberpath.com.

In this episode, we are discussing the much-anticipated topic of Internships!

Internships are not that common in cybersecurity and that's because they are a huge long-term investment, which is risky for lots of organizations especially in the private sector.

Some of the issues that come along with internships are the time and resources that must be invested, and on the side, the risk of all these resources being blown away when the intern decides to not continue with the organization.

You can also expect not to see two internship programs that are similar to each other. They are always different and very customized to fit the organization providing these internships.

Internships can also be a great help to break barriers that a lot of entry level workers face when trying to get a job for the first time in many different fields, not just cybersecurity.

There are also other benefits to internships, including better networking opportunities and more improvements to your team's communication skills, and the way they work with different skill levels, which can enlighten you about areas of weaknesses and points of improvement.

Knowing the title of your dream cybersecurity job is important because, without a job title, you might spend a lot of time going to school or getting certifications, only to find out that, as viewed by a hiring manager, your resume is unfocused on a specific objective.

And that could undermine your ability to present yourself as a strong candidate for a job when other people with laser-focused preparation are submitting their applications for the same job.
