How to Build a Winning Cybersecurity Resume


Career advancement is an art form with many facets. One vital tool is your cybersecurity resume, the quality of which can mean the difference between getting an interview for your dream job and not being considered at all. 


Following the standard advice on building a resume will give you a standard resume that won’t set you apart from the pack. Fresh thinking will give your resume a huge advantage. This is true whether you’re an entry-level candidate or applying for a chief information security officer (CISO) position, whether you’re building a security analyst resume or a security administrator resume. 


Yes, it’s important to pay attention to the do’s and don’ts of smart resume building. And, yes, there is a cybersecurity skills gap. But to make your resume stand out from the pack, you’ll want something new and different. Here are some great ideas for building a winning cybersecurity resume for those just entering the field, for the most seasoned veterans and everyone in between. 


Tips for a Great Cybersecurity Resume: Get Real 


First, emphasize the real-world achievements that people who know you best would say about you. This could involve technical skills or strong analytical ability. But it could also focus on the big project you led or when you motivated a team of people under pressure. In Silicon Valley, every entrepreneur raising venture capital needs an ‘elevator pitch’ — the very short, essential statement about what you’re really all about — short enough to deliver during the course of a single ride in an elevator. As a cybersecurity job candidate, you need an elevator pitch as well, and lead with that on your resume.
