Agreed, your skill set is also lacking even for a security position. My honest advice is to give up.

because you're too qualified for the job. HR think you won't be a good mix with your low IQ colleagues. also they know you're desperate for money and will find a better job asap so no need to invest in you.
also you boast with your good grades for a fucking help desk job that require no skills. what they want to know if it's you can handle people over the phone, getting yelled at without losing your calm and fix their problem. They don't care about your A in calculus.

Your resume is not reflective of having any IT experience. You probably need to lie. Get a buddy who will pretend to own a small IT company or something that would be willing to pick up the phone and lie on your behalf.

pen testing is based, anon.

>> No.23699075

1) Don't use famous names unless you've worked directly with them.
2) Be formal and boring with your resume - don't use words like "My dream is to be a..."
3) Don't put sexual inneundos in your resume - "Penetration tester"

Last, and the most important:
4) You MUST list experience in software testing. It doesn't matter if it is paid. You can offer to "test" a software for a friend in your free time, and list it there as "freelance work".

TAKE THAT SHIT OFF. Nobody gives a fuck if you got an A in calc and even if you did it makes people think that you believe it is important enough to put on there, it isn't.

>>23699075
this. also you need to adapt your resume to the job, use different wordings for different jobs. In this help desk job you need to understand what the job is all about and carve your resume to fit. depending on the job you apply you will emphasize different aspects of your experience.
Ex: "I like to trade stocks" or "founder of chess club" adds absolutely no value for a help desk job, so ditch it. Instead, write what you can bring to the job from those experiences. like "As the president and founder of chess club, I was used to deal with different kind of personnalities or whatever... "stock trading taught me extreme patience and keeping my calm in all circumstances" you get the idea. "take care of my dogs" kek who gives a fuck it's not related to this job

You want to write that you're a president and founder of chess club because you love teaching and explaining others..
If you apply for another job, you founded that chess club because you have a entrepreneur mindset.
It's all about marketing yourself perfectly for the job you're applying, not sending the same random resume

Awful CV, first off, quit the fucking CNC operator. If you are looking for some pentest jobs, nobody really gives a shit about it, they are interested in experience regarding that job. Nor Activities, start showing what things you have done with the programs of Kali you have done, show that you have worked previously and you know your shit if that doesnt apply start lying more, they will never know you worked in some random internet company that has no direct contact with them.

This only reeks like a 18-19 year old CV and wouldn't even consider it if I were a HR

>> No.23699448

Your resume needs serious work. How is playing poker relevant to infosec? Playing with your dog? A in calc? Cnc has nothing to do with infosec

Wheres link to your ctf writeups? What about talking about how you learnt your tcpip skills for example. What about getting oscp?

Good luck anon

>> No.23699487

Stop dreaming nigger, pen testing is probably by far one of the most impossible fields to get into with that kind of resumes.

Go open up hacker.one, make an account, start slaving at finding bugs on newer businesses, make some cash, grow your experience, and actually learn pentesting in the process you absolute tard.

Bonus tip : You might actually be able to contact these companies in the future for a position or for a recommendation at least. Fucking script kiddies nowadays..

>leave the celeb shit out you faggot, no one cares. Talk about your tech experience on that job and very little else

You don't do anything.

If you have Security+ do some online csec challenges or competitions. And add those to your resume. You also might be able to join a local college's hacking competions.
Read a book and demonstrate some of the concepts and post the results and code to github.


You need to show HR and the wage master that you do your job for free outside of your job.
