| | Chris | I put a lot of work into the original blog I was going to post, unfortunately I never saved it or something.But I'll keep this short and simple since the important thing is that like everything, you get out of it what you put in.
Take Scott Bowman's advice. Anything job search related is what he does best. and honestly, his Advice would have been worth at least half of the HUNT program's tuition.
Matt, Alan, JC are extremely technical and know what they are talking about. And additionally they have great personalities that make going to class for 10 weeks, 8 hours a day bearable, and typical enjoyable.
The support staff and admin are extremely friendly and I only regret not having the opportunity to interact with them more.
This was a hail-mary for me. I was working a sub 30k salary job at a restaurant with no benefits, and was stuck. I had managed to have family give me the money to survive while I took 3 months off and partook in this cohort. I graduated with 4 or 5 interviews happening the last couple of weeks of the classes. I graduated the 20th of December started a new job with Comcast through Brooksource on Jan 1st. and by the end of January, Carbon Black offered me a position, making over twice I was before. In one year I would have been able to pay off a loan if I had took one out. My 4 closest friends I made there, 3 months after the program, 3 of them have jobs, and one was kind of thrown around by a single interview process. They were all fun to be around and I have no doubt I'll be seeing them regularly for the rest of my life.
This program is worth it if you want to get your foot in the door of cyber security. And I know that companies look at SecureSet to find qualified individuals. If you can and want, do it. |
