This aspect of the program is the icing on the cake. It goes beyond empowering me to know what is required of me for successful job interviews as It reveals some experiences in cybersecurity and allied jobs that I already have and provided ways of presenting them in both STAR and ELEVATION PITCH model. GREAT COURSE, GREAT FACILITATORS, GREAT JOB

This course is really what makes it possible to translate what I've learnt into what I can showcase to my prospective employers. And having all these amazing tips and guidance given by the HR personnel/ hiring managers that work at one of the top companies in the world helps me have a benchmark on how it should be and could be.

Most of the material is really easy to pick up on as it is explained really well. Admittedly, I felt somewhat overwhelmed during the network security portion (Course 3). However, being able to revisit material is a lifesaver. I enjoyed doing the labs. It gave me more confidence in the material I studied. Highly recommended.

some of the extra/side road information is a little overboard. listening to everyones specific path to their career and discussing things with anonymous people on the internet that in turn could be what separates you in an interview when competing against that person for a job opening is a turn off.

Very encouraging way to learn, even for someone without any prior knowledge of the field. Programming basics and an intro into all aspects of the field. It is taught in small videos and short reading passages. The anytime, anywhere nature of the instruction makes it perfect for anyone's schedule.

This course is full of information much more than I expected. It is full of both text and images, videos, people from practice, etc. It's challenging, but that's why, or rather thanks to it, I learned much more than just the basics of cybersecurity.

While I did complete the course, considering that positions that are open have well over 200 applicants with many having bachelors degrees, I feel that this alone will not help you get a job but is only a stepping stone if anything.
