7MS #629: Interview with Stu Musil of Ambient Consulting

Today we have a fun featured interview with my new friend Stu Musil of Ambient Consulting I had a great time talking with Stu about bashing come common misconceptions people have about working with recruiters, plus tackling some frequently asked questions:

  • How do you properly vet a recruiter you don’t know, but who offers a job opportunity you’re interested in?
  • What questions should you ask a potential recruiter to get a feel for their level of experience in the industry (hint, if a recruiter doesn’t even have a LinkedIn page, that’s probably a red flag)
  • Resume tips:
      • Finding the right length and tone
      • Tailoring your resume for each individual job
      • Highlighting your strengths
      • Do people still use cover letters when applying to a gig?
      • Is a “hobbies and interests” section still a good idea on a resume (to show them you’re not a robot who works 24/7)?
  • Lets talk about some horror and/or success stories from the world of recruiting!

This episode isn't about infosec exactly, but it talks about how using public resources like LinkedIn, Twitter and blogs to boost your "brand" (though I hate that word) and help you get more connected to the infosec community, job leads and more!

Way back in episode #93, I talked about things you can do to secure your life (mortgage review, adequate insurance, estate planning, investments, etc.). This episode continues that train of thought and covers: getting the right amount of life insurance, getting the right home/auto coverage, as well as estate planning.

7MS #124: Sprinkles

This episode is 90% a rant about how annoying carry-on luggage and air travel can be, and a 10% sprinkling of security sauce mixed in. Hence: sprinkles.

7MS #123: Doing a Redo Assessment

This episode talks about my experience in doing a "redo" security assessment, during which I struggled with the following questions: what's the best way to efficiently correct the erroneous information and make the customer happy without asking ALL the original questions over again? Especially when I have little to no time to prepare for the "redo" interview?

7MS #122: OFFTOPIC-An Apology to Elephants

7MS #122: OFFTOPIC-An Apology to Elephants

Preview76 wordsThis episode is about a documentary called An Apology to Elephants. It's all about the treatment (or mistreatment) of elephants, and the main message of the movie is, "Please don't go to the circus when it's in town, because you're supporting elephant abuse." Even if that message was a little heavy handed, I certainly will pass on tickets next time a circus act comes through town. You can subscribe to the 7 Minute Security podcast here.
