Most people&#8217;s<br \/>\nlimiting factor in their ability to get better jobs is not technical<br \/>\nskills or even the soft skills necessary to do well in a new job. It<br \/>\nis that getting a job is a completely different skill set and one that<br \/>\nmost people only practice every few years. We live in a world where<br \/>\nour personal data is no longer ours to control. Fortunately, that<br \/>\napplies to our prospective employers as well. It&#8217;s time to turn the<br \/>\nworld&#8217;s proliferation of data to our advantage. This presentation<br \/>\nexplains the job hunting process, why the most commonly followed<br \/>\nmodels fail and how to better approach the search. It covers deciding<br \/>\nto leave your current job, researching new possible job opportunities,<br \/>\ntargeting your new boss, controlling the job interview process and<br \/>\nnegotiating your new compensation and the departure from your current<br \/>\njob.<\/p>\n<p>As this is a DC612 talk and not my usual audience, we can pause the<br \/>\ntalk at any time and dig into real-life recon on companies you may be<br \/>\ninterested in.<\/p>\n<p>About me:<br \/>\nJosh has more than fifteen years of experience in security, IT,<br \/>\ndevelopment and system and network administration.
