Perhaps not obvious is letting all of your friends, relatives and neighbors know what types of jobs you are interested in. While they may not have a connection for you, they may know someone who does.
Exactly what I was looking for... Thank you so much!

Hello Sharese,
I understand that you're seeking guidance, and while there are a few details that remain unclear, I'm confident we can navigate this together. Let's start by assessing what you've done so far in your job hunt. Have you been utilizing your internship to build connections? How close are you to finishing your degree? These factors can greatly influence your strategy.
My first piece of advice would be to initiate a conversation with someone from your internship, perhaps someone from the HR department. This could potentially open up opportunities for you, even if they're not directly within your current organization. It's also a great way to practice answering potential interview questions and showcasing your skills and qualifications.
I did a quick online search and found several job opportunities in your area. Additionally, you might want to think about part-time or contract work in your field. This could be an excellent way to explore different career paths and organizations and gain real-world experience, even before you complete your degree.
I also stumbled upon this article that might provide you with more insights: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/resources/soc-analyst/soc-analyst-career-path/
Remember, every step you take brings you closer to your goal. Best of luck on your journey!

Hi Sharese, I trust you're in high spirits!
Here's a bit of guidance to help you shine brighter: Make sure to spotlight specific projects you've worked on during your internship and think about acquiring certifications such as CompTIA Security+ or CSA. Engage with cybersecurity communities, participate in local events, and make networking a priority. Customize your resume for ATS systems by integrating relevant keywords, underline your academic studies and research, and keep yourself informed about the newest trends and tools. This forward-thinking attitude will expand your horizons and enhance your job search.
I also suggest you upload your resume to a variety of job platforms to discover opportunities in your field. Some excellent platforms are:
LinkedIn
Glassdoor
Indeed
ZipRecruiter
Wishing you good luck and an exciting journey ahead!

Many people I know will search for jobs by typing "job I want" + "near me" into Google. This typically will provide you with results from Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIN, etc. While this could be a good place to start your job search, another option is doing some research on companies that you would like to work for. Once you have your listing of companies, you can search their websites directly by navigating to their careers/jobs section. This will allow you to apply directly through the company website and could possibly lead to your next job! Good luck on the search!
Yessss! Thank you so much for your help!
