I’m a cybersecurity consultant with deep expertise in offensive security, including penetration testing, red teaming, vulnerability management, and purple teaming. With hands-on experience across web, network, API, mobile, and thick client environments, I help organizations proactively identify and mitigate real-world threats. My background also includes GRC consulting, cybersecurity awareness training, and secure SDLC integration. I hold industry-recognized certifications such as CEH, and AZ500, and have worked across sectors like fintech, SaaS, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. Whether it’s simulating advanced adversaries or advising on compliance and security architecture, I bring both technical depth and strategic insight to every engagement.
I’ve worked with quite a few professionals facing this, and honestly — it’s more common than you think. Here are the first steps I recommend:
1. Audit your resume — not just for formatting, but for messaging. Are you telling a clear story of impact, not just responsibilities? Focus on results, metrics, and transformation.
2. Tailor every application. A generic resume will almost always get ignored. Align keywords from the job post and make your cover note specific to the company’s pain points.
3. Build relationships before you apply. Reach out on LinkedIn, comment on posts, join industry groups. Applications coming from a warm contact or referral get way more attention than cold ones.
4. Get brutally honest feedback. Ask someone in your domain (or me, if you’d like) to review your resume or your online presence and point out gaps.
And finally — don’t just focus on quantity. Applying to 10 roles with high personalization beats sending 100 blind resumes.
Happy to help you map this more clearly if needed. Sometimes it just takes a few focused shifts to start getting traction.
