Everybody welcomes the next video.
Now that we've gotten our resuming our professional branding our e-mails out of the way we've got our
linked in a profile set up and incomplete.
Now we're going to look at actually searching for the job now.
We're right here on LinkedIn moron right under the jobs link.
So we have a few options.
We're not normally when I start the approach of job hunting.
I'm not looking for a specific location in your case you might be.
So use your specific location if you if you need to now or we're going to do here is we're going to
use this in the context of red team.
Now for any job there's normally a few different ways you can stay they can phrase and so if we look
just quickly here you can see senior Red Team engineer you've got red team penetration tester red team.
So and then there's things like offensive security engineer and then their security engineer.
Offensive Security Engineer red team.
And this is information security engineer.
But the but the actual job descriptions talks about offensive security.
So there's a lot of things you can have to go about here and there's.
And you just have to go through when you start looking through all of the job postings what I would
suggest you do so if we look up a security engineer you can start with something like this and just
start looking and seeing what's optional here.
So you see right here we have security engineer at Woodman life.
So you go through read the description normally it's first starts about this purpose.
OK.
So it looks like just a standard security engineer great online safety and security so you can kind
of get a better idea of what they're looking for.
Normally if it's an offensive side of things they'll tell you right away.
So you can start with what security engineer.
But we're going to look at offensive security.
So looking at this we did see NWS A.I. is here.
But if you look through here and see here I'm not seeing anything as offensive.
Looks like oh it's because it's under promotion.
So the first two tend to be paid advertising.
So what if you look here we have Offensive Security ad near from Facebook which is the one that we looked
at before which is a priest standard one.
But as we scroll down a little bit more we see different variations of the same names.
This one cybersecurity engineer I.T. Security Engineer security engineer security engineer.
So you're going to find a lot of times where security engineers what's being told and what's being used
but you're going to have for example here's not one Teradata one offensive security and sense of security
engineers another name for Red Team engineer but it's a relatively new name so not everybody is going
to have that name but it is starting to move that way.
So let's take a look at another example do red team
so you see here we have senior Red Team Red Team Engineer Lead security engineer.
So if we look to here there's probably something here.
I.T. Red Team testing.
So that's why it popped but our search results.
Red team security engineer at Amazon it's called security engineers to dash red team to go over levels
in a minute.
We can see here participate in Red Team engagements.
Full circle for years experience security engineers Red Team Security Engineer red team security engineer
manager of the red team.
So the red team operator.
So there's a lot of different variations.
And once you start learning more what you're looking for.
So in this case we're specializing in red team or the offensive side.
You can start noticing different trends like red team is what it's called offensive security is a new
upcoming term that's going to be used for a lot of this.
Sometimes it's information security engineer or security engineer as you can see here with us with a
team of Red Team.
It entirely depends on the or and how things are specified.
So it's important to always take that into consideration and start with a broad search and make your
way down.
So if you know you're looking for red team I would just search red team see what you find and as you
go through here you'll see things like offensive security engineer or red team operator or like we said
here security engineer red team.
So maybe you look up security in.
Maybe you see offensive in here then you looked up offensive security engineer so you'll start building
that that list of terms that people are using to refer to these types of positions to help you narrow
down the scope of what you're looking for.
So if you were looking for a red team role you would start with red team which is what I would do.
We'd go through here and see OK we've got a few few things in here because red terms more of the traditional
sense I want to look up something that's moving more trendy I would do the offensive security engineer.
Which brings us to the just a few of them.
As we said we have ring has one.
Facebook has a one data dog Teradata so you can kind of see that a few of these are moving towards the
more trendy version of that word which is the offensive security engineer.
As we talked about so go ahead and take a little bit of a job search look and see what kind of things
you'd look for.
Just give a full read of the resume or the job description and see see what you come out to because
you can notice here that it doesn't always say anything here about years of experience and that's really
the case for a lot of these positions it's not always years of experience.
So this one says they want a minimum of three years of doing penetration testing a red team but that's
not always the case.
There's a lot of times where it's not required like Facebook doesn't have years of experience.
There's probably more of a generic role and then they grade you and level you based on your position
on are based on your experience when you go through the interview.
So we'll take a look at this one real quick.
We can see here.
You want.
They want one year of experience in offensive security or or three in security.
And as we talked about certificates or certifications we have OCP some say in the rest of the sands.
So take a second look through this look through the requirements.
Amazon tends to be pretty heavy on years of experience.
So you can see here what they what they're looking for.
Let's see how long management.
So this is an intern position for vulnerability management.
So as you hear there isn't any years of experience required.
So a standard security engineer for Amazon they just want two years of security experience and then
manipulating some stuff.
So NCC Group is a nice it's a really good consulting company so they have that offensive security engineer
and they just want two years of working with I.T. in general and security and that's not too difficult
to put into place when you look at when you look take it from a grand scheme of things.
If you start off as a security engineer right off the top or you're already working as a security engineer
if you've got one or two years of doing that with you you go and get the certificate you go do all the
courses you go through the red team blueprint you'll be able to talk to a lot of talking points during
an interview process and be able to expand that so you can actually show hey it might only have two
years of experience in security but I can I can pass your interview for the offensive security engineer
position or the red team position.
That's not sometimes get your foot just enough in the door.
And then once you're foot's in the door now you have that title on your resumé for offensive security
and a red team whatever the case might be.
That's all you need.
You get that initial bit and you get some years of experience under your belt with that title.
Then it's just a matter of where you want to go from that point.
You got any anywhere you really want to go if you want to go to programming.
I mean if you have a you have a portfolio built up you've got tools that you've built up so you've got
stuff to kind of move you along in I.T. and in almost any position that you want to go to.
You should.
And it's just a matter of building that skill set out learning what where to look for the job so you
can see here there's quite a few openings available.
Don't even have years of experience required at any point.
So take a second look through as many of these postings as you can click save on the ones that you think
you might want to apply for in the future but we're going to go over how to analyze the job post and
how to apply for it in the next few videos.
But just look at it.
If you for example if you like the Facebook one you're doing OK.
It's not terrible.
It's safe.
And then come back to it when we go to the analyzing the job post and see and see if you take those
tips and tricks of that video and see how it's going to play out for you as an individual.
Again some of these positions that are open now we talked about how to search for the job.
I want to talk about quickly looking at levels.
So there's a few common ways that you can look at leveling.
So the first and the most standard that you're going to find is something like we'll do s e 1.
So security engineer one I'm just putting SC so I'll have to type it that many times you know SC to
see three and then this is where things start to change they have a level 1 2 and 3.
And it depends on the on the the company but normally Level 1 is you know 0 to 1 years experience.
Number two is 1 one and a half to like two and a half or so maybe three depending on the individual
and then level three goes to two and a half to three three and a half years of experience and then you
have a senior SC There's no one at that so senior SC which is normally you know four years of experience
or a little bit more and then you have staff see and that is normally five five and half to six a lot
of these can stretch quite a bit more.
And then you have senior staff.
And there's times above that where you can go to principal architects of fellow.
There's there's quite a it starts to get up there but you can.
For example you can be a senior for two or three years you can be a staff for three or four three years
depending on the company.
In some cases there's the positions are much they have much more range then than other companies and
then there's even more additional companies I'm not gonna give names here but there's L one all the
way through.
Like l nine or 10 or something like that.
So the levels it really just depends.
So if you whether there's levels 1 through 10 or levels 1 through 9 you can really break it down into
something like this or you'd like sent senior staff and then know principal and senior principal you
know others you can break it down into those.
So if you if you keep these positions right here like an L 3 might be the equivalent to a 2 or 3 on
this scale as an example and maybe an L four or five is equivalent to a senior or three.
So the leveling is it's up for interpretation.
However when you start going through and looking at the job descriptions you'll start seeing different
things and we start going through the interview.
She'll start seeing different things.
So if you apply for a position that doesn't have a level then you probably have a better idea of what
that's going to be is and it's they're going to ask questions and based on your answer they will level
appropriate and they will offer if if you pass they will offer you at whatever level that they believe
you should be at.
And there are other positions that are looking for just this level which is important to note the difference
of which we'll talk about the next day when we talk about analyzing the job postings.
And so we'll go from there but I wanted you to have a general idea of what the levels tend to look like
in I.T. in general.
