1
00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:15,600
OK, so in the last lecture, I gave you an overview and a tip of the iceberg for taste of the goodness

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,230
I have in store for you.

3
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:22,920
But before we get into the meat and potatoes of this course, I need to quickly address a few questions

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,450
you might have.

5
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:24,130
All right.

6
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:26,060
So just get right down to it.

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:33,150
The first question you might have is this will this course

8
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:43,660
help me pass that pathway?

9
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:44,670
It's a good question.

10
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:52,440
By passing mean the OSCE certification or the certified ethical hacker at the security plus the Sands,

11
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,550
Japan or G.

12
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:54,030
Expen.

13
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:56,550
You know, will this course help me pass X?

14
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:04,230
And this is a kind of a nuanced answer is what I can give, because on the one hand, you know, there's

15
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:10,590
a lot of material in this course that can prepare you to pass a cybersecurity exam.

16
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:11,540
Right.

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,070
On the other hand, I didn't design this course to help you pass a specific exam.

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,910
Yes, there is a great deal of overlap between the content being taught here and the content inside

19
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:26,310
of a cybersecurity certification course.

20
00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:33,960
But you shouldn't treat the material in this course as a replacement for the OCP or a replacement for

21
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,580
the security plus or anything like that.

22
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:42,180
Just think of it like a supplement, something that's going to help make your transition into a specific

23
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:44,520
exam frictionless.

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,050
Right.

25
00:01:45,090 --> 00:01:48,750
Which just trying to move you from one place to the next and try to move you from a place.

26
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,910
Of zero to little knowledge.

27
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:54,790
Over.

28
00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:04,800
To a place with a really pretty good understanding of the cybersecurity concepts here, so we're making

29
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,230
that jump.

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,370
Now, the second question you might have, which I think is equally as relevant, is will this cause?

31
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:17,200
Will this cause?

32
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,090
Me land.

33
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:32,010
In cybersecurity, right, and the answer to that is also yes or no, right, because there's a couple

34
00:02:32,010 --> 00:02:33,140
of different things need to have in mind.

35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:39,230
Let me clear the screen off and kind of explain why I'm giving you a yes no answer to this.

36
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:42,110
So let's go up here.

37
00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:46,670
Whenever you're, you know, interviewing, you're about to interview.

38
00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:50,420
There's more than just technical acumen, right?

39
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:55,760
Technical acumen isn't the sole hiring criteria by an organization or a company or firm.

40
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:56,360
Right.

41
00:02:56,410 --> 00:02:59,240
There's other skills that you need in order to secure that job.

42
00:02:59,630 --> 00:03:00,650
You need confidence.

43
00:03:02,570 --> 00:03:07,690
Or at least the perception of confidence, you need to know how to compose yourself.

44
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:18,880
That's in person when they meet you and also on paper when they read your resume, so resume how to

45
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,620
write a kickass resume, how to create a kickass, you know, LinkedIn page.

46
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:25,510
Everybody's going to look their.

47
00:03:30,690 --> 00:03:35,450
And LinkedIn profile need to know, you know, how to market yourself.

48
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:39,970
How to answer the question, tell me about yourself, right?

49
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,260
Of course, you just don't want to dig into talking about yourself.

50
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:47,720
You want to talk about where you want to go and why you care specifically about this particular company.

51
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,570
Then you want to sort of tell the narrative of your history and how you got here and and there's a whole

52
00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:55,200
process to it.

53
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,940
But this isn't a course of interviews.

54
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,060
But as you can see, there are several things you need to have in place.

55
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:02,910
You need to know how to, you know, negotiate your salary.

56
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,020
One of the things that I strongly recommend is that you have a certification already, so you have your

57
00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:17,620
OCB, you have your security, plus, you know, you have S.H. before you interview.

58
00:04:17,860 --> 00:04:18,230
Why?

59
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,100
Because this will help your resume get more attention.

60
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:23,090
Right.

61
00:04:23,210 --> 00:04:26,190
It will increase your chances of landing a high paying job in cyber.

62
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,460
So those are the things I just wanted to sort of get off the table.

63
00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:35,370
And in the next lecture, we're going to well, I'm going to walk you through the GitHub resource that

64
00:04:35,370 --> 00:04:36,260
accompanies this course.

65
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:41,080
It's a page that includes a bevy of resources which will help you not only excel in this course, but

66
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,680
it will actually help you well into your career and beyond.

67
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:48,990
So I just want to walk you through it, step you through this just GitHub page so you can get everything

68
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:52,530
you need to excel as a cybersecurity professional.

69
00:04:53,190 --> 00:04:53,430
Right.

70
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:56,130
So I can see you in the next lecture.
