Endorsement Process
Hello All, Trust you are doing great. If anyone can share how to start the endorsement process that would be great. I am not sure if an email only would suffice and is there anything more into it. Kindly advise

@Basma Alhussaini 3 yrs of cybersecurity - does that match any of the domains? If you are a graduate with a Bachelors degree, I would think that would count for 1 yr too. Would your prior job as tech support and DBA in any way count towards any domain? If it does, that could be your 5 years. I had a very similar situation to that (but was Developer that matched well w domain 8 regarding app dev and security) and needed something from my employer on letterhead state my job titles and periods of employment for each.
Passed the CISSP Today
Hey All, I joined the group here in my eleventh hour preparing for the CISSP Exam. I have worked in cybersecurity for a while and in my work experience had lots of interactions with CISSP professionals which I think led to a good baseline understanding, of cybersecurity. I have been studying for a year but mainly because I kept pushing out the exam due to me not feeling confident until I reached a point where it would not let me push it out any further. Biggest tips that helped me were 1. Think like a manager 2. Rationalize the reasons why you are not picking an answer when selecting what you think is the correct answer. 3. Do not rush, plan on running out of time you can still pass if you don't hit 150 4. Focus on the first 10 questions that will guage what kind of test your experience will be. 5. Many questions will be un-scored test questions so be prepared for strangely worded questions. 6. If your uncertain on a question narrow it down to a 50/50 and pick the one you BEST feel is right 7. Go for the answer which is the broadest or can encompass the other options in the list - I studied algorithms and formulas HARD and didn't get a single formula question nor did I get many algorithm questions (just 1 on Bell-Lapadula) - I purchased the official book and study guide from ISC2 - I purchased the Audio Book CISSP All in One Guide by McGraw Hill - I watched all the videos from Destination Certification - I watched all the videos by Inside Cloud and Security https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nyZhYnCNLA - I took the daily practice questions only in the Pocket Prep Guide App - I took the LearnZ App Practice Tests and never scored higher than a 68 (Yellow) - I participated in a few sessions here in skool the sessions I did attend led to a deeper understanding of the core topics and not just wrote memorization. For that I am grateful. I had to take the test because I couldn't push it out any further but remember its 100-150 questions on so many topics you will likely not be asked a lot of the items covered just statistically with the un-scored questions you may only get a few on set topics in a single domain so don't stress out.

Yeah yeah yeah!!! And YAY too 😊 congratulations @Clifford Jenkins !
finding a security related job
So far I've wall-papered the internet with my new resume, no takers yet. But plenty of DevOps gigs which I don't really want to consider. Over my 26 year career, Ive been around infrastructure, either building or project planning entire networks from the ground up as a Field Engineer, or securing/segmenting them via patching or Vlans, firewalling with Sonicwall, using the best practices we all know. I also worked as a manager and a team lead. Cybersecurity jobs that Ive been applying for require specific experience as a "Cybersecurity professional" with a minimum of 5 in that role as an example. Which I don't have, so I'm not being even considered. So Im not sure how to fix this weird reality of not having enough experience as a "Cybersecyurity professional" .

Or finding a role that is partially into cybersecurity so you can still develop the nearly silly requisite job exp in years. Getting past HR screening can really be a problem... What about a devsecops role, specifically going towards security side? Still caters towards your devops experience (I think you had a solid background there right?) but get into the infosec side possibly. That was where I sat for several years until we had a major incident which opened up a door 😁
