In this episode I speak to Lizzie Verbeek and Kris Rides about what its like to be a recruiter in the cybersecurity industry, why job seekers should work with a recruiter,  how to reach out to a recruiter, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted how recruiters find and work with candidates. A huge thank you to both Lizzie and Kris for taking the time to share their thoughts and take the time out of their day to join me on the show.

3. Into the Hacker Valley

MITM is about the current barriers in the cybersecurity industry such as starting out, the misconception of the "Entry-Level" position, everyone needing a CISSP, 5+ years of experience, how to gain experience, and how to level up your career in general. The host, Mike Darlan, will be sitting down with industry leaders and professionals in the cybersecurity industry to discuss the paths they took that lead them to where they are today. Mike will also sit down with students, recent graduates, and those looking for work to get their input on how the industry stands and the barriers they face.
