What do you do if you want to stand out as a cybersecurity candidate?
Speaking from experience one of the key factors is your CV and covering letter. Time after time see covering letters done with AI, it's obvious (”dear hiring manager”) and half the time the candidates forget to fill in the missing I formation. On you CV Don't just list the top 20 tools in Kali, list projects and interests. The first page should be informative and exciting without overbearing the reader with information. Back up your knowledge, if you list testing disciplines you will likely get quizzed on them. Don't claim you can do something when you cant. Lastly, If you are wanting join a consultancy I can guarantee if you go into detail on soft skills and how important they are, you will impress.
