#79 The Honest Truth: Why Your Cybersecurity Resume Is Getting Ghosted

from The Hacker's Cache · host Kyser Clark - Cybersecurity

Why are qualified cybersecurity professionals submitting hundreds of applications and still getting ghosted? In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, Kyser Clark breaks down the honest reasons cybersecurity resumes get rejected, including rigid experience requirements, ATS filters, job-title matching, internal candidates, intense competition for remote roles, and the shrinking number of offensive security opportunities. Drawing from his own recent cybersecurity job search, multiple final-round interviews, repeated rejections, and successful transition into a Cloud Security Engineer role, Kyser explains what employers are really evaluating and how networking, flexibility, cloud skills, and targeted applications can improve your chances of landing a cybersecurity job.Connect---------------------------------------------------https://www.KyserClark.comhttps://www.KyserClark.com/Newsletterhttps://youtube.com/KyserClarkhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/KyserClarkhttps://www.twitter.com/KyserClarkhttps://www.instagram/KyserClarkhttps://facebook.com/CyberKyserhttps://twitch.tv/KyserClark_Cybersecurityhttps://www.tiktok.com/@kyserclarkhttps://discord.gg/ZPQYdBV9YYMusic by Karl Casey @ White Bat AudioAttention Listeners: This content is strictly for educational purposes, emphasizing ETHICAL and LEGAL hacking only.
