Connections in the industry & Career Timeline

The way in order to achieve my plan of going into the cybersecurity sector is through connections which I will build through my internship and also Linkedin. Linkedin is a great way to meet individuals and they will see your professional profile or you will be able to see and look at the professional community and how they work.

My linkedin profile is at a beginner level, however as time goes on it will continue to progress.

Career Timeline- Cyber-security Analyst/ engineer consultant

I personally want to become a security consultant and open up my own business that help local business up to big companies. In order to do this, I will first have to get my bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity and then gain some knowledge or internship within some companies.

After gaining some experience from some companies I will furthermore, earn a more mdi-level role asa security analyst/ engineer. Once I gain more experience I will earn a higher- level role as an engineer/ analyst as being a consultant.

Timeline-

Graduate——–> internship——–>cybersecurity graduate job———–>mid-entry level position————-> high- level role position as a cybersecurity analyst/ engineer

The only difference between a mid-level entry and a high level position is the experience, as that is where the role of high level positions lies.
