Alisha & Bina, your hosts of a new podcast, focus on helping those wanting to break into the tech industry, preferably information security. In this episode, we discuss our journey (where we are currently and what we’re working on) plus the basic tips needed to prepare yourself to enter the field.
Entering the industry can be confusing with mixed signals and conflicting information about what is required. In reality, there is no simple, single pathway in. We walk through a brief understanding of what basics are needed. Like many of you, we asked others how they entered the field and what steps they took. Therefore, it was only right to use that question(s) for the first episode.
What are the basics?
The Basics:
- Education,
- Staying Updated on Trends,
- Applying Knowledge,
- Market Yourself, and finally
- Get Out & Network!
* Keep in mind, you may complete multiple steps in parallel.
